BX 42 pto driven wood chipper

Does anyone know if a BX 42 wood chipper will fit on a Ford 5000's PTO and what length shaft is needed?

thanks!

I wasn't familiar with that model wood chipper so I just Googled it, and it looks like it is a "DR" brand 3 point mounted PTO driven wood chipper. It says that it needs a minimum of 19 and a maximum of 65 hp. The 5000 puts out around 60 to 62 hp at the PTO so it is near the high end of the range.

The DR web site says that it comes with a PTO shaft, and it specifies a Cat I 3 point lift, and the 5000 really was designed as a cat II 3 point tractor but it was available with both cat I and cat II balls, so you may need to get a longer PTO shaft than the one that it comes with, but you'll need to measure for yourself once you try to mount it.
