Description
The Wallenstein BXH42 Skid-Steer Wood Chipper is a hydraulically driven, gravity-feed disc chipper designed for skid-steer loaders with a universal mounting plate. Built for processing branches and small-diameter wood up to 4 inches (10 cm), it combines a wide infeed opening, heavy-duty rotor, reversible knives, and adjustable discharge control for practical on-site wood-chipping work. Hydraulic hoses and couplers are included, making the BXH42 a purpose-built attachment for compatible skid-steer loaders used in land clearing, property maintenance, landscaping, and cleanup applications.
Product Highlights
The BXH42 uses the skid-steer's hydraulic system to drive a 25-inch (64 cm) disc rotor rated at 1,000 rpm. Its gravity-feed design and 4-inch × 10-inch (10 cm × 25 cm) infeed opening accommodate suitable branches without requiring a separate powered feed system. A 20-inch × 20-inch (51 cm × 51 cm) chipper hopper opening provides a broad entry area, while the two-knife rotor system is designed for consistent chipping performance within the machine's rated capacity.
Material exits through a discharge chute positioned 72 inches (183 cm) high, with 360-degree chute rotation for directing chips where required. The adjustable discharge chute and positional discharge deflector support control over the discharge direction. Additional design features include a twig breaker, an oversized heavy-duty rotor, reversible rotor knives, and a wide infeed opening.

Skid-Steer Compatibility and Requirements
The Wallenstein BXH42 is intended for use with a skid-steer loader equipped with a universal skid-steer mounting plate and compatible auxiliary hydraulic flow. Wallenstein specifies a recommended hydraulic flow of 25 gpm (95 lpm), with a catalogue operating flow range of 20–30 gpm. Confirm that the loader's hydraulic system provides suitable flow and that its mounting interface matches the universal skid-steer mounting plate before operation.
