The ability to change between working positions makes the BBT suitable for almost any firewood application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the 9HP model best suited for?
It's ideal for customers who want genuine commercial splitting performance at the most accessible price point. You receive the same heavy-duty hydraulic system, splitting force and cycle time as the higher-spec models, without paying extra for electric start or premium engine brands.
Does the 9HP split slower than the 15HP model?
No.
The 9HP, 15HP, Diesel, Briggs & Stratton and Honda models all use the same commercial hydraulic platform, delivering approximately a 14-second cycle time, 40 tonnes of rated splitting force and 65 tonnes tested capacity. The differences are the engine, fuel type and starting system—not the splitter's hydraulic performance.
Why would I choose this model instead of the 15HP Electric Start?
If you're comfortable with recoil starting and want to maximise value, the 9HP model gives you the same commercial splitting capability while reducing the purchase price. It's the smartest choice for customers focused on performance rather than engine upgrades.
Can it split Australian hardwoods?
Yes. The BBT 40/65T has been engineered to process demanding Australian hardwoods including Ironbark, Red Gum, Yellow Box and Stringybark. Actual performance depends on timber species, moisture content, knots, grain direction and log size.
Can it be towed on public roads?
No.
The 2-inch coupling is designed for off-road towing around private properties at speeds up to 40km/h. It is not intended or approved for highway use.
