Description
The Forestwest BM11039 40 Ton Kinetic Log Splitter is the highest-capacity model in the Forestwest kinetic splitter range, designed for customers who prioritise maximum splitting force.
Powered by a 7HP petrol engine, the BM11039 generates up to 40 tons of splitting force with an average cycle time of approximately 3 seconds. Its kinetic flywheel system provides fast split-and-return operation without a conventional hydraulic oil, pump or hose system.
The BM11039 accommodates logs up to 650mm long, with a recommended diameter of 100–600mm. It has been tested with dense Australian hardwood including Jarrah and Gum species.
Large 16-inch wheels and a towing attachment assist with repositioning around private property, while the automatic return system quickly prepares the splitter for the next log.
