Firewood processors differ not only in production capacity, splitting force or maximum log diameter. The machine concept, drive system, mobility and the way the machine fits into the workflow can also differ considerably.
BTD Technics has developed its machines for the practical processing of roundwood where the timber is available. The BTD range therefore offers a choice between three attachment firewood processors and the independently powered mobile TrailerPlus-M.
The PROcompact, PROcompact-S and PROplus are attachment firewood processors. These machines use the hydraulic system of the carrier vehicle for their drive.
Depending on the model, a BTD attachment firewood processor can be combined with a tractor, loader, excavator or another suitable carrier vehicle with sufficient hydraulic capacity.
Because the carrier vehicle provides the hydraulic power, the firewood processor does not require a separate combustion engine. This keeps the machine concept compact and limits the number of separate drive components that require maintenance.
For users who want a self-contained firewood processor that does not depend on the hydraulic system of a carrier vehicle, BTD developed the TrailerPlus-M.
This mobile firewood processor has its own 40 hp Briggs & Stratton petrol engine and integrated hydraulic system. This allows the machine to operate independently and, as a trailer-mounted machine, it is designed for road transport at speeds of up to 80 km/h.
BTD therefore offers two different concepts within one product range: hydraulically powered attachment firewood processors and a self-contained mobile firewood processor with its own drive system.
The most suitable solution depends primarily on how the firewood is produced.
Considering these questions means looking not only at the capacity of the machine itself, but at the complete production and logistics workflow.
BTD machines are developed with an emphasis on a practical and straightforward design. The attachment firewood processors use the hydraulics of the carrier vehicle, while the TrailerPlus-M has its engine, hydraulics and controls integrated into the machine.
In both cases, the objective is the same: to process roundwood efficiently into firewood with a machine concept that fits the user’s daily workflow.
BTD offers four models with different capacities and applications. The technical differences between the PROcompact, PROcompact-S, PROplus and TrailerPlus-M can be found in the technical specifications of the BTD firewood processors.
