Chipper Wallenstein BX42s

[jmanatee2]

Just got my Wallenstein BX42s Wood Chipper.

I bought it from Woodward Crossings Vacation and Cabin Rentals | Wallenstein Woodchippers Very fast delivery.

WOW. Very nicely built. Very rugged. Took me an hour to un-crate it (very well packaged! Not one scratch on it) and get it assembled, I haven't had a chance to try it yet but I cant wait.

Now I have to try removing the backhoe for the first time.

Man, those guys must think their stuff is extra special. $2044 for a 33" chain drive tiller. Only 4 blades per flange per too.. :laughing:

Sorry to correct you Haywire , but the BX42 is direct drive from the pto ,

I have one also, can't wait till snow gone to get rid of the many trees I felled to make my ATV trail to sugar bush.

I've been looking at them for years, but you can have the credit for pushing me over the edge.. I missed a used one for $1500 a couple years ago.

I was blown away the first time I used mine. I think you will be too.
Since a dealer didn't prep it you might check to see if it needs grease.
Taking the backhoe off usually goes pretty smoothly. Putting it back on takes me longer.
Enjoy the new tool!

First thing I did was grease it. I still have to check/adjust the the blade

Bad weather coming in here so I still haven't got to play with it yet. Just got done putting it in the shed and covering the loader up.

Oh well spring had got to come soon.

How tall was the crate that it came in? I'm trying to figure if I'll need to get the ladders off my rack to get mine in the truck.

Not that tall.. The top chute was off and the inlet chute were off.

It was less the 4' for sure maybe less then 44"

Great. Thanks.

Almost got the BX42, got the BMX42 instead. Great purchase, I just wish they made a 6" chipper/mulcher.

I've run the BX42 on my BX24 for two years now and it totally rocks! I got my used from Woodward, and they were great to work with.

Wallenstein makes a terrific product, and I imagine that their tillers are worth every cent.

I ordered this yesterday around 10 am. Hard to believe, but it's here..

Two things I did to my BX42 were to add star washers under the knobs on the chute, it was constantly dropping while chipping from vibration, not a problem but the chip pile kept getting closer. The second was to add a 4x4 under the legs on each side to level the drive line a little and give it a better footprint for soft ground.
As a final accessory I made a trailer hitch that goes between the legs to pull a small wagon with all my gear, brush cutter, polesaw and chainsaw along with fuel, oil, chains,and refreshments.
