What is a mobile attachment firewood processor?

A mobile attachment firewood processor is mounted on a suitable carrier vehicle and uses the vehicle’s hydraulic system for sawing and splitting. This allows the complete processing setup to be moved easily between different work locations.

The log is loaded onto the machine and sawn to the selected cutting length. The cut section then moves into the splitting area, where it is pushed through a splitting knife. Depending on the model and configuration, different splitting knife options are available.

How does a mobile attachment firewood processor work?

  • Sawing and splitting in one process: the machine combines cutting and splitting in one integrated workflow.
  • Hydraulic drive: the machine uses the hydraulic system of the carrier vehicle.
  • Mobility: the complete setup can be moved to different work locations with the carrier vehicle.
  • Adjustable cutting length: the desired firewood length can be set to suit the application.
  • Different splitting knife options: depending on the BTD model, 4-, 6-, 8- and 12-way splitting knives are available.

Which carrier vehicles can be used?

Depending on the BTD model, suitable carrier vehicles can include tractors, wheel loaders, compact loaders, telehandlers and excavators.

The carrier vehicle must provide sufficient hydraulic oil flow, working pressure, lifting capacity and stability. A compatible mechanical attachment, pressure-free return and leak-oil connection are also important.

Advantages of an attachment firewood processor

  • Efficient workflow: sawing and splitting are combined in one machine.
  • Use of an existing carrier vehicle: no separate drive unit is required on the attachment machine itself.
  • Flexible deployment: the machine can be taken directly to the timber or processing location.
  • Compact setup: the combination is suitable for mobile professional firewood production.
  • One-person operation: depending on the work situation and carrier vehicle, the complete process can be organised efficiently by one operator.

What is the difference from the TrailerPlus-M?

A BTD attachment firewood processor depends on a suitable carrier vehicle for hydraulic power and mobility. The BTD TrailerPlus-M is different: it is a mobile stand-alone firewood processor with its own engine and hydraulic system.

This makes the two concepts suitable for different applications. The right choice depends on the available carrier vehicle, hydraulic capacity, required mobility and production needs.
