Wallenstein Skid Steer Wood Chipper

The Wallenstein BXH-42 is a skid steer-mounted wood chipper designed for processing branches and wood material into chips. It uses a gravity-feed system and a hydraulically driven rotor, with a listed 4-inch chipping capacity. The BXH-42 is suitable for customers looking for a skid steer-powered wood chipper for property maintenance, vegetation cleanup, and wood-processing applications.

The BXH-42 has a 4-inch chipping capacity and a 4-inch x 10-inch chipper infeed opening. It also has a 20-inch x 20-inch hopper opening, providing the material entry area for the gravity-feed system. Buyers should use the 4-inch chipping capacity as the key specification when determining whether the BXH-42 is appropriate for the size of wood they intend to process.

The Wallenstein BXH-42 has a recommended hydraulic flow of 25 GPM. The hydraulic system drives the chipper rotor, so the skid steer should be checked to ensure its hydraulic system is suitable for the attachment. Older Wallenstein specifications also list a 20–30 GPM flow range, while the current specification identifies 25 GPM as the recommended flow. Customers should verify their skid steer's actual hydraulic specifications before purchasing.

The BXH-42 uses a 25-inch rotor with a listed rotor weight of 74 pounds and two chipper knives. The rotor is hydraulically driven and rated at 1,000 RPM. Wallenstein also identifies reversible rotor knives as a feature, providing a practical configuration for maintaining the cutting components.

The BXH-42 measures approximately 80 inches long x 57 inches wide x 72 inches high and has a total weight of approximately 740 pounds. Its discharge chute has a listed height of 72 inches and 360-degree rotation, allowing the discharge direction to be adjusted. These dimensions and weight should be considered when checking the skid steer's attachment capacity, transport requirements, and available operating space.

When matching a skid steer to the BXH-42, pay particular attention to hydraulic flow, mounting compatibility, and the machine's ability to handle the attachment's weight. The BXH-42 uses a universal skid steer mounting plate, has a 740-pound total weight, and requires a recommended 25 GPM hydraulic flow. It provides a 4-inch chipping capacity, a 25-inch rotor, and a gravity-feed system. Confirming these specifications against your skid steer's hydraulic and attachment specifications before purchase will help ensure the BXH-42 is an appropriate match.
