---

Split More Firewood. Spend Less Time Moving Your Machine.

Whether you're preparing firewood for winter, maintaining a rural property or processing timber throughout the year, the BBT 12T Horizontal Petrol Log Splitter has been designed to help you work faster and more efficiently.

Unlike smaller domestic splitters, this model features a built-in tow hitch, allowing you to easily move the splitter around your property using a ride-on mower, ATV, UTV or small tractor. Instead of carrying heavy logs long distances, simply tow the splitter closer to where you're working and let the machine do the hard work.

Powered by a dependable Genuine JD 6.5HP 4-Stroke Petrol Engine, the heavy-duty hydraulic system delivers 12 tonnes of continuous rated splitting force and has been tested to 20 tonnes, making it ideal for processing a wide range of Australian hardwoods and softwoods. Actual splitting performance depends on timber species, moisture content, knots, grain direction and log diameter.

Featuring an ergonomic single-handed control lever with automatic ram return, 3500 PSI hydraulic pressure, 10 LPM alloy gear pump, 75mm hydraulic cylinder, 520mm log capacity and a heavy-duty all-steel chassis, the BBT 12T delivers dependable performance season after season.

Backed by Australia's trusted Bigger Boyz Toyz support network, genuine spare parts availability and a 2-Year Warranty, it's built for Australian conditions and Australian firewood.
