Description
The Wallenstein BXM32 Chipper/Shredder is a PTO-driven, gravity-feed implement designed for tractors supplying 12–35 hp. It combines a 3 in (8 cm) chipping capacity with a 1 in (2.5 cm) shredding capacity, making it suitable for processing branches, brush, and other woody material. The disc chipper, hammer-mill shredder, integrated shredder hopper, and adjustable discharge system provide versatile material handling for property maintenance, acreage management, and land-clearing tasks. The BXM32 mounts to a Category I three-point hitch and is compatible with iMatch™ and Quick Hitch systems.

Chipping and Shredding Performance
The BXM32 uses separate processing systems for chipping and shredding. Its disc chipper has a 3 in × 6 in (8 cm × 15 cm) infeed opening and two chipper knives. For smaller material, the hammer-mill shredder provides a 1 in (2.5 cm) shredding capacity and uses 27 shredder knives. The dedicated chipper and shredder hopper openings help accommodate the respective types of material being processed.
An 18 in (45 cm) rotor with a listed weight of 70 lb (32 kg) supports the PTO-driven processing system. The reversible rotor knives are designed to provide an additional knife position when servicing the implement, while the twig breaker is included among the BXM32's listed processing features.
Discharge and Material Handling
The discharge chute is 58 in (147 cm) high and rotates through 360°, allowing processed material to be directed around the implement. The positional discharge deflector provides further control over the discharge direction. Together, these features help place chips and shredded material where required during cleanup and property maintenance work.
