Wallenstein BX42 pricing

[Rara Avis]

In comparison to the B3030, that BX-62 does look like a monster in ducktape's photo. I was toying with getting the BX-62, but someone here said "anything bigger than 4" is firewood".

99% of the dead trees here are jackpine which is what I will be chipping. I never used to burn, but when maple is $1,000 for a 10 cord load, I have decided to burn jackpine. I have both a wood and propane furnace.

The Vette is a 2007 with 13,000+ miles on it and will have quote a few more on it when I get back from Tucson in 2 1/2 weeks.

Well, just make sure you plan on cleaning the creosote out more often when burning pine vs hardwood...

BX-42 vs BX-62
110 lbs vs 180lbs rotor weight...
Just means when I chip the 4" stuff the chipper will not be maxed...

I only burn wood when I can burn it very hot, plus my wood furnace has a catalytic reburning unit, so there is really no creosote.

Are you using something like this?
More performance from your Catalytic Converter

In general, catalytic stoves are a little more efficient initially than noncatalytic stoves, but catalysts deteriorate over time and need to be replaced every two to four years to ensure good performance.

Out of curiosity...what do these catalysts cost to replace?

I bought an aftermaket one that had literally disintegrated by the end of winter. From the manufacturer, it was about$250, and as you said they last 2 to 4 years.

In addition to increasing efficiency, they keep the chimney clean.

I finally used the wood chipper yesterday and it worked great. It was quieter than I thought it would be

I just recieved my BX42 from Woodward crossing. I have a JD 4300. Woodward crossing was great to deal with and I am very happy with the chipper. I am glad I went with the 42, and I did not get the hydro feed option. I will post a pic soon.

You got a good one then, green is the color of choice

Not around Union SC. Ever heard of Clemson University

But green goes good with my Kioto orange and my Woods yellow implements. So far I don't have any orange implement, ain't no use to start trying to color coordinate now

Question on BX42 vs BX62. I have 37 HP at PTO. While I will not be chipping 6" logs (most use will be 3-4" logs/limbs), should I "upsize" to the BX62? Since I am approaching the limit of the BX42, would the BX62 be a better choice? Usually I have found it better to stay below the operating limits of equipment. The price difference is not great.
