Wallenstein labels BX52S’s 22–55 and BX72S’s 50–85 as engine horsepower. At 55 gross hp the 5520 is on BX52S’s ceiling and 5 inside BX72S. The comparison below sets the two Wallenstein chippers side by side.
TYM rates the 5520 at 44 PTO hp, 1 under the 45-hp ceilings. The T554 (45.6) is over them, so the two TYMs split on the same attachments.
Woodland Mills ties WC68’s full feed to over 40 PTO hp; the 5520 meets it by 4 and is 6 under its 50 ceiling.
TYM lists 2,425 lb 24 inches behind the link ends; every chipper here is well under it.
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 TYM 5520’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.
