BBT 40/65 Ton Wood Log Splitter - 15hp Petrol Electric Start Engine - 2-Year Warranty

BBT 40/65T Commercial Petrol Log Splitter – Built for Australia's Toughest Timber

---

When Firewood Is More Than a Weekend Job

Some people split a trailer load of firewood every winter.

Others process timber every week.

The BBT 40/65T Commercial Log Splitter has been designed for the second group.

Whether you're supplying firewood commercially, managing a large rural property, maintaining a farm or simply refusing to let difficult Australian hardwood slow you down, this machine delivers the productivity, durability and hydraulic performance required for serious work.

Powered by a dependable Genuine JD 15HP 4-Stroke Petrol Engine with both electric start and recoil backup, the BBT delivers 40 tonnes of continuous rated splitting force and has been tested to 65 tonnes, allowing it to process some of Australia's most demanding hardwoods with confidence.

At the heart of the machine is a commercial-grade 60LPM two-stage hydraulic pump, 127mm (5") hydraulic ramand 3500 PSI operating pressure, producing a rapid 14-second cycle time that dramatically increases productivity when processing large volumes of timber.

Designed around operator comfort as well as performance, the splitter operates in both Horizontal and Vertical positions, includes an elevated working height to reduce bending, a single-handed control lever with automatic ram return, 2-inch tow coupling, jockey wheel and hydraulic hose burst protection sleeves for added safety.

Backed by Bigger Boyz Toyz's Australian spare parts support and a 2-Year Warranty, this is the flagship of the BBT Log Splitter range.

Commercial Two-Stage Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system is what separates commercial splitters from residential machines.

The BBT features:

• 60LPM two-stage hydraulic pump
• 3500 PSI operating pressure

• 20 Litres ISO68 hydraulic oil

The high-flow pump rapidly advances the ram before automatically switching into high-pressure mode when maximum splitting force is required.

The result is outstanding productivity without sacrificing 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.

Actual splitting performance depends on:

• Timber species
• Moisture content
• Knots
• Grain direction
• Log diameter

Few Australian hardwoods present a challenge for this machine.

---

Vertical & Horizontal Operation

Different timber requires different working positions.

Horizontal Mode

Ideal for:

• Fast production
• Continuous splitting
• Regular firewood
• Maximum productivity

Vertical Mode

Perfect for:

• Large hardwood rounds
• Heavy timber
• Oversized logs
• Reduced lifting

Simply roll heavy rounds into position instead of lifting them.

---

Elevated Working Platform

One of the biggest advantages of the BBT 40/65T is its elevated beam design.

Instead of working close to the ground, the raised operating height significantly reduces bending throughout the day.

For customers processing large quantities of timber, this greatly improves comfort and reduces fatigue.

Benefits

• Reduced bending
• Improved ergonomics
• Better loading height
• More comfortable operation
• Ideal for long splitting sessions

---

Single-Handed Operation with Automatic Ram Return

Like every BBT Log Splitter, the flagship model features an ergonomic single-handed control lever combined with automatic ram return.

After each split, simply release the control lever and prepare your next log while the ram automatically returns.

Benefits

• Faster workflow
• Reduced fatigue
• Smooth hydraulic control
• Improved productivity
• Easier operation
