Betstco’s current FH-BX62S manual lists 25–45 PTO hp, and the WCAP5 Pro manual lists 15–45 PTO hp for Category 1. The T574’s 44.7 is 0.3 under both; TYM’s kilowatt figure (32.9 kW, about 44.1 hp) is also under. Wallenstein rates BX52S to 55 engine hp, and TYM lists exactly 55. These are inside their ranges with no room for a different dealer figure or a higher-rated engine standard. Ask each maker to confirm the pairing in writing.
Wallenstein’s BX72S starts at 50 engine hp, which the T574 clears by 5.0 and the T494 misses by 1.7. It is a 7-inch gravity-feed chipper with a 7 × 12-inch opening and an 82-inch discharge. Wallenstein’s page lists Cat I and II mounting; its manual lists Cat I, which matches the T574’s Category I hitch either way.
TYM’s Series 4 Specification Guide and the model page’s table list the T574 as a synchro shuttle, F8 × R8. The catalog’s T574 key-specification page and the model page’s feature callout show a “3-range hydrostatic transmission”. TYM publishes one PTO figure, 44.7 hp, without a transmission split. On other brands, the hydrostatic version usually lists less PTO power. Confirm the transmission and its PTO rating before relying on the 0.3-hp margins.
The T574 shares the T494’s 3,050.6-lb lift at 24 inches. That is well above BX72S’s 728-lb, WC88’s 900-lb and the FH-BX62S’s 797–915-lb reference weights. The narrow margins on this tractor are in horsepower, not lift; complete operating weight and ballast still need checking.
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 T574’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, 3,051 lb, carries the 1,300-lb BX72RI with 1,751 lb to spare. Wallenstein lists no price; ask a dealer.
