TYM 3015 wood chippers: exactly on three limits

WoodMaxx MX-9900 and Farmer-Helper FH-BX62S start at 25 PTO hp and Wallenstein BX36S stops at 30 engine hp, and the TYM 3015 is rated exactly 25 and 30. It is inside all three with no margin, and nearly every other chipper here fits.

MX-9900 or FH-BX62S

WoodMaxx MX-9900 (9-inch, hydrostatic feed) and Farmer-Helper FH-BX62S (6-inch) both start at 25 PTO hp, the 3015’s rating. Both are inside with no margin and far from their full-capacity statements. The comparison below sets them side by side.

Zero margin

A published minimum is the power the maker says the chipper needs to work as rated. At exactly 25 PTO hp the 3015 has nothing to spare for MX-9900 or FH-BX62S, and at exactly 30 engine hp nothing above BX36S’s ceiling; confirm the rating for the tractor on offer before relying on any of the three.

Lift

TYM lists 2,425 lb 24 inches behind the lift point, high for the power class; weight is unlikely to limit any chipper here. Add the shaft and front ballast as the tractor manual directs.

Wallenstein hydraulic-feed BXR chippers

Wallenstein’s current pages rate the 5-inch BX52RI (30–55 engine hp, Category I). 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 TYM 3015’s 30 engine hp is inside the BX52RI page’s 30–55 but under the 40 that the manual’s table gives for the BX52R, so ask Wallenstein which floor applies to the serial on offer. Its published lift at 24 inches, 2,425 lb, carries the 845-lb BX52RI with 1,580 lb to spare. Wallenstein lists no price; ask a dealer.
