TSV Variable Speed System :

The standard chopping speed used with 60 mm. diameter timber is 4.5 seconds, using 5 tonne thrust at 13 strokes per minute. The TSV system allows a variation of speed between 2 and 4.5 seconds, allowing for faster splitting with softer woods. For example, the same diameter of a softer wood could be split in 3 seconds at a 2.4 tonne thrust and 20 strokes per minute.

Firewood Conveyor :

This simple but effective device can be used to pile the timber in a trailer or lorry, or to load mesh bags with the firewood. The conveyor can be folded back over the machine during movement and is supported by two wire cables when in use. The high sides and litter grid guides ensure that the split logs stay on the conveyor.An optional winch can be supplied to ease handling.

Netbag Frame :

A Netbag Frame can be supplied as a worthwhile optional extra; the bag is held rigidly on the frame whilst the bag is filled, then the frame is removed and another bag rigged. As illustrated, this is an excellent way to load the firewood onto pallets for drying, storage and transport.
