Description
The Forestwest BM11038 34 Ton Kinetic Log Splitter is a heavy-duty petrol splitter designed for fast processing of larger firewood and dense Australian hardwood.
Powered by a 6.5HP petrol engine, the BM11038 generates up to 34 tons of splitting force with an average cycle time of approximately 3 seconds. Its kinetic flywheel system provides rapid repetitive splitting without a conventional hydraulic pump, hoses or hydraulic oil system.
The BM11038 accommodates logs up to 710mm long, with a recommended diameter of 100–600mm. It has been tested with dense Australian hardwood including Jarrah and various Gum species.
A large firewood catch tray keeps split pieces close for further processing, while 16-inch wheels and a towing attachment assist with repositioning around private property.
Need maximum splitting force? Consider the BM11039 40 Ton Petrol Kinetic Log Splitter. If longer log capacity is more important, the BM11038 accepts logs up to 710mm long.
