LS MT355E wood chippers: gear is 1.7 hp over the 45-hp chippers

Farmry’s WCAP5 Pro and Farmer-Helper’s FH-BX42 and FH-BX62S stop at 45 PTO hp. The gear MT355E (46.7) is 1.7 over; the MT355HE (44.0) is 1.0 under. On both, Woodland Mills WC68 and WC88, WoodMaxx’s 8-inch chippers and Wallenstein BX72S (50–85 engine hp) fit.

Gear or HST decides the 45-hp chippers

Three chippers on this site stop at 45 PTO hp. LS rates the gear MT355E at 46.7 and the HST MT355HE at 44.0. Farmry’s WCAP5 Pro manual adds a 20–50 range for a Cat 1N hitch, which would include both. The comparison below sets WCAP5 Pro against WC88, which has no published ceiling.

WC88 or BX72S

Woodland Mills WC88 (from 35 PTO hp, 8-inch, 900 lb) and Wallenstein BX72S (50–85 engine hp, 7-inch) both fit with room. WC88 ties full feed on 8-inch logs to over 60 PTO hp.

Engine figure disagreement

LS’s brochure prints “55 (37.3)” for the MT355 engine; 37.3 kW is about 50 hp. The owner manual lists 41.0 kW (55 hp). Wallenstein’s BX52S stops at 55 engine hp and BX72S starts at 50, so the figure matters only for those two.

Lift and hitch

The manual gives 2,425 lb 24 inches behind the lift point and Category 1. The current page says CAT 2. WC88’s 900 lb is well under the lift.

Wallenstein hydraulic-feed BXR chippers

Wallenstein’s current pages rate the 5-inch BX52RI (30–55 engine hp, Category I) and the 7-inch BX72RI (45–85 engine hp, Category I and II). Two hydraulic rollers pull material in at a set rate, and P3 PULSE reverses them when the rotor slows; they need 3–6 gpm from a rear remote or Wallenstein’s PTO-driven power pack. The LS MT355E’s 55 engine hp is inside the BX52RI’s range on both the page and the manual. It is inside the BX72RI’s range on both the page and the manual. Its published lift at 24 inches, 2,425 lb, carries the 1,300-lb BX72RI with 1,125 lb to spare. Wallenstein lists no price; ask a dealer.
