Best PTO Chipper for JD2520

[BethesdaEC]

I just ordered the Wallenstein BX42r, the one with the hydro feed rollers. Look like it will take about a month to deliver.

Boy, am I jealous. Congrats and post an action picture when time permits.

I would love to have chipper...got money.??

Does anybody have a BX42r? I was told it will plug right into my power beyond on my JD2520. Also do you know if the system is primed with hydro fluid? If not what would the procedure be? Thanks.

Curious to know....What do the hydraulics run on a chipper.??

The auto feed rollers.

There is no "priming" as the system is self-bleeding/purging/priming. Is there a valve on the chipper? If so, then as long as it's an OC (open center) valve then it will work plugged into the PB lines, you will probably have to get the correct QD's though.

Yes, there is a valve, the hopper has the safety bar that start, stops and reverses the hydro motor. The power beyond loops through the backhoe, but when it is disconnected it is looped back on itself. It has one male and one female connector and a short length of hose that gives just enough hose to make a loop.

Like Ken said, just get the correct quick connects to mate to your tractor and go. It may take some trial and error, as you have a 50/50 chance of getting the lines right the first time. With the lines connected, you want the chipper feed rollers reversing when the safety bar is pushed forward. That way should you ever get snagged and pulled toward the hopper, you only need to catch, or push the bar to make the feed reverse. Pulling the bar back toward you should make it feed again.

Congratulations.... that is a very nice chipper! :thumbsup:

I emailed Wallenstein today. The lines are primed and quick connects are ready to plug in. Now I just have to wait.

I have the small BearCat (probably the one Roy says is the same as the Woods). It is a nice chipper with a pretty hefty flywheel. Only complaint is that it dumps chips underneath so you need to move periodically.
