Description
BBT 40/65T Commercial Diesel Log Splitter – One Fuel. Commercial Performance.
Built for Farms, Contractors & Diesel-Powered Properties
If your tractors, excavators, generators and machinery all run on diesel, why should your log splitter be any different?
The BBT 40/65T Commercial Diesel Log Splitter has been designed specifically for customers who already operate diesel-powered equipment and want to keep their entire fleet running on a single fuel.
Instead of storing petrol for one machine and diesel for everything else, the BBT Diesel model simplifies refuelling, reduces fuel management and fits seamlessly into commercial farms, rural properties and contractor fleets.
Powered by a KOOP 10HP Direct Injection Diesel Engine with electric start and recoil backup, the splitter delivers the same commercial hydraulic performance as every other 40/65T model in the BBT range.
That means:
- 40 tonnes of continuous rated splitting force
- 65 tonnes tested
- 14-second cycle time
- 60LPM two-stage hydraulic pump
- 127mm (5") hydraulic cylinder
- 3500 PSI operating pressure
The only difference is your preferred power source.
Whether you're producing commercial firewood, maintaining a large rural property or managing a working farm, the BBT Diesel delivers uncompromising performance with the convenience of diesel operation.
Why Choose the Diesel Model?
The biggest advantage isn't more splitting force.
It's operational efficiency.
If your property already operates diesel-powered machinery, the BBT Diesel integrates perfectly into your existing equipment fleet.
No additional fuel.
No separate fuel storage.
No accidentally filling the wrong machine.
Just one fuel for the entire property.
Benefits
- Perfect for diesel-powered farms
- One fuel across your equipment fleet
- Simplified refuelling
- Reduced fuel storage
- Ideal for contractors and councils
- Same commercial hydraulic performance as every 40/65T model
KOOP 10HP Direct Injection Diesel Engine
At the heart of the machine is the proven KOOP 186FA 10HP Direct Injection Diesel Engine.
Designed for demanding commercial applications, the engine combines excellent fuel economy with dependable torque and long service life.
Featuring electric start with recoil backup, the engine is ready to work whenever you are.
It also incorporates a low oil protection system to help protect the engine during operation.
Benefits
- KOOP 10HP direct injection diesel engine
- Electric start
- Pull-start backup
- Excellent fuel efficiency
- Strong low-speed torque
- Low oil protection
- Built for commercial work
Commercial Two-Stage Hydraulic System
Every BBT 40/65T model uses the same commercial hydraulic package.
Features include:
- 3500 PSI operating pressure
- 60LPM two-stage hydraulic pump
- 127mm (5") hydraulic cylinder
- 20 Litres ISO68 hydraulic oil
The two-stage pump automatically changes from high flow to high pressure when resistance increases, combining fast cycle times with enormous splitting power.
40 Ton Rated Splitting Force – Tested to 65 Tonnes
The BBT produces 40 tonnes of continuous rated hydraulic splitting force and has been tested beyond 65 tonnes.
Whether you're processing Ironbark, Red Gum, Yellow Box or Stringybark, this commercial hydraulic system has been engineered to tackle Australia's toughest timber.
Actual splitting performance depends on timber species, moisture content, knots, grain direction and log diameter.
Vertical & Horizontal Operation
Different logs require different working positions.
Horizontal Position
Perfect for:
- Fast production
- Continuous firewood processing
- Maximum productivity
Vertical Position
Ideal for:
- Heavy hardwood rounds
- Oversized logs
- Reduced lifting
- Improved operator comfort
Simply roll heavy logs into position instead of lifting them onto the beam.
Elevated Working Platform
Long days splitting firewood place unnecessary strain on your back.
The elevated working height reduces bending, improves ergonomics and makes loading timber significantly more comfortable.
For commercial users, this means less fatigue and greater productivity throughout the day.
Single-Handed Operation with Automatic Ram Return
Every BBT Log Splitter features the same ergonomic control system.
The single-handed control lever provides smooth hydraulic control while the automatic ram return resets the splitter ready for the next log.
As the ram returns, you can already position the next piece of timber, maintaining an efficient workflow.
Benefits
- Single-handed operation
- Automatic ram return
- Faster workflow
- Reduced fatigue
- Improved productivity
Towable Around Your Property
The heavy-duty chassis includes:
- 2-inch tow coupling
- Jockey wheel
- Heavy-duty axle
- Off-road towing capability
Designed for convenient movement around farms, forestry operations and rural properties.
Maximum off-road towing speed: 40km/h. Not intended for highway towing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the diesel model over the petrol version?
If your tractors, excavators, generators or other machinery already operate on diesel, this model allows you to keep your entire equipment fleet on one fuel. It simplifies refuelling, reduces fuel storage and eliminates the need to keep petrol specifically for your log splitter.
Is the diesel model more powerful than the petrol version?
No.
All BBT 40/65T Log Splitters use the same commercial hydraulic system, delivering 40 tonnes of rated splitting force, 65 tonnes tested and an approximate 14-second cycle time.
The difference is the engine type and fuel preference—not splitting performance.
Does diesel provide any other advantages?
Many commercial users appreciate diesel engines for their strong low-speed torque, fuel efficiency and compatibility with existing machinery fleets. For properties already storing diesel, it also simplifies day-to-day operation.
Can it split Australian hardwoods?
Yes.
The BBT 40/65T has been engineered for Australia's toughest hardwoods, including Ironbark, Red Gum, Yellow Box and Stringybark. Performance depends on the condition and characteristics of each log.
