Wallenstein BXTR6438 | Wood Chippers | Hydraulic Feed - Towable/Self-Contained (Electronic Controls) 2022

Wallenstein BXTR6438 7 in Hydraulic-Feed Wood Chipper is a self-contained, gasoline-powered trailer wood chipper designed for efficient roadside, property-maintenance, landscaping, and land-clearing work. Its dual hydraulic rollers provide positive material handling, while automatic roller speed control and P3 Pulse electronic controls help support consistent operation. Powered by a Vanguard 40 hp, 993 cc EFI engine, the BXTR6438 processes material up to 7 in (17 cm) in diameter and is highway towable for convenient movement between work locations.

Product Overview

The standard Wallenstein BXTR6438 combines a heavy-duty chipping system with a towable trailer configuration. Its 7 in x 11 in infeed opening accepts suitable branches and woody material, while the 30 in rotor and four reversible knives are designed for productive chipping. The fold-up feed hopper helps reduce the machine’s overall transport length, and the adjustable discharge chute rotates through 360 degrees to direct chips where they are needed.

Electronic P3 Pulse controls, electric start, a safety control bar, automatic roller speed control, and a built-in toolbox contribute to practical day-to-day operation. The trailer uses a Torflex suspension axle, ST205/75R14 tires, and a 2 in ladder-style ball coupler for towing. This is the standard BXTR6438 configuration and does not include electric brakes; it should not be confused with the BXTR6438B electric-brake variant.

Performance and Chipping System

The 25 in x 34 in (64 cm x 86 cm) hopper opening provides access to the feed system, while automatic roller speed control helps manage material flow. The rotor operates at 1,400 rpm and weighs 197 lb (89 kg), supporting the machine’s heavy-duty chipping configuration.
