Specifications of BTD Technics Firewood Processors

BTD Technics develops professional firewood processors for intensive and versatile use. On this page you can compare the technical specifications of the PROcompact, PROcompact-S, PROplus and the mobile TrailerPlus-M.

The PROcompact, PROcompact-S and PROplus are attachment-mounted firewood processors powered hydraulically by a suitable carrier vehicle. The TrailerPlus-M is a self-contained mobile firewood processor with its own drive and hydraulic system.

The specifications are grouped by technical section, making it easy to compare the differences between the four models.
