Hydraulic Log Splitter for Firewood Processing – Fast, Safe & Mobile

Splitting firewood with an axe is slow, exhausting, and genuinely dangerous—especially when you’re processing cords of hardwood for winter heating or commercial firewood sales. One misplaced swing can mean a trip to the emergency room. The HT-PM80 hydraulic log splitter takes the risk and the labor out of firewood processing.

This unit runs on a 6.5HP Briggs & Stratton 130G gasoline engine, powering a hydraulic system that delivers 8 tons of splitting force through a 95mm cylinder. The single control valve (BDL40-0T-10) gives you straightforward operation—push the handle, the wedge moves forward, the log splits, release to return. The splitting cycle takes about 8 seconds per log, which adds up to serious production over a day’s work.

The machine accepts logs up to 630mm in length and 400mm in diameter—enough to handle most firewood sizes without pre-cutting. The high carbon steel blade is hardened and holds its edge through repeated use. At 220kg, the HT-PM80 is heavy enough to stay stable during operation but still manageable for movement around the yard. The rubber tires let you roll it between work areas, and optional towing equipment means you can pull it behind a car, ATV, or tractor. For tight storage, the unit stands upright—reducing the footprint when not in use.

This machine is for anyone processing firewood beyond what a splitting axe can handle efficiently. Small farms, homesteads, firewood retailers, and campground operators all benefit from a splitter that turns a day of exhausting labour into a few hours of straightforward work.
