Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this splitter have three working positions?

The three-position design allows you to choose the most comfortable setup for the log you're splitting. Horizontal mode is ideal for speed, the 45° position reduces bending and lifting for medium to large logs, while vertical mode allows heavy hardwood rounds to be rolled directly into place.

---

Can it split Australian hardwoods?

Yes. The BBT 12/20T has been engineered to process a wide range of Australian hardwoods and softwoods. Actual performance will vary depending on timber species, moisture content, knots and grain direction.

---

What does "12 tonnes rated, tested to 20 tonnes" mean?

The splitter delivers 12 tonnes of continuous rated hydraulic force during normal operation and has been tested under higher loads. The actual force required to split a log depends on the type and condition of the timber rather than a single tonnage figure.

---

What is the advantage of the 45° working position?

The 45° position is designed to reduce both lifting and bending. It places the beam at a comfortable working height, making it easier to load medium and large logs while reducing operator fatigue during longer splitting sessions.

---

Is this suitable for first-time log splitter owners?

Absolutely. This model is an excellent choice for customers wanting a versatile, easy-to-use machine that can comfortably handle everything from regular household firewood to larger hardwood rounds, without stepping into a much larger commercial splitter.
