Commercial Two-Stage Hydraulic System

Every BBT 40/65T model shares the same commercial hydraulic platform.

Features include:

• 60LPM two-stage hydraulic pump
• 3500 PSI hydraulic pressure
• 127mm (5") hydraulic cylinder
• 20 Litres ISO68 hydraulic oil

The two-stage pump provides rapid ram travel before automatically switching to high-pressure mode when additional force is required.

This combination delivers both speed and exceptional splitting performance.

40 Ton Rated Splitting Force – Tested to 65 Tonnes

The BBT hydraulic system delivers 40 tonnes of continuous rated splitting force and has been tested to 65 tonnes.

Suitable for demanding Australian hardwoods including:

• Ironbark
• Red Gum
• Yellow Box
• Stringybark
• Blue Gum
• Spotted Gum
• Most seasoned hardwoods

Actual splitting performance depends on timber species, moisture content, knots, grain direction and log diameter.

Vertical & Horizontal Operation

Every job is different.

Horizontal mode is ideal for continuous production, while Vertical mode allows heavy hardwood rounds to be rolled directly into position, reducing lifting and improving operator comfort.

Benefits

• Fast production
• Reduced heavy lifting
• Greater versatility

Elevated Working Platform

The raised beam height significantly reduces bending compared with lower-profile splitters.

When processing firewood for long periods, this ergonomic design improves comfort and reduces fatigue.

Like every BBT Log Splitter, the XR2100 model features an ergonomic single-handed control lever with automatic ram return.

Once the split is complete, simply release the lever and prepare the next log while the ram automatically resets itself.

• Automatic ram return
• Faster workflow
• Improved productivity
• Reduced operator fatigue
