We propose solutions of the quantum Q-systems of types BN,CN,DN in terms of q-difference operators, generalizing our previous construction for the Q-system of type A. The difference operators are interpreted as q-Whittaker limits of discrete time evolutions of Macdonald-van Diejen type operators. We conjecture that these new operators act as raising and lowering operators for q-Whittaker functions, which are special cases of graded characters of fusion products of KR-modules.
