Time is money in the firewood business, said Scott Baylor, Woods’ product manager for log splitters, and the company’s new machine “will split wood six times faster than a conventional hydraulic unit and consume less fuel as well.”

Timberwolf, in Stowmarket, organised the ‘All the Facts, #NoOmissions’ campaign to provide clarity on the changes, known as ‘Stage V’.

The rotor is very heavy at 32lb and it has 10 full shred flails and 2 chipper blades. The engine has a heavy duty bearing clutch that makes for easy starting and optimal engine functioning for many years to come. For heavy duty yard work, the Yardbeast can not be beat!

Automated Biomass Systems is in the process of re-branding and will be introducing a series of new products in the first quarter of 2019. Equipment for the firewood industry will be marketed and sold under the Timberwolf brand name. The first new product to be launched will be the Timberwolf Alpha splitter, which combines features of the Timberwolf TW5 and TW6 model splitters with the AutoSplit. “It’s much improved, much faster,” said Timmins. “We’re going with this new machine across the board.”

Timmins is optimistic about the future of the firewood industry, and Automated Biomass Systems. As climate change becomes more of an issue, he believes governments will impose more taxes on fuels, particularly fossil fuels, in order to reduce carbon emissions. That would stabilize fuel prices and spur investments for heating with biomass. “It has a lot to do with government policy,” he said.

The most common powered log splitter is a hydraulic design. These are the same types of splitters you might see for sale at your local big box home center. A steel I-beam, hydraulic cylinder, gas engine, and a pump are the basic building blocks of a splitter like this. Think of it as a horizontal version of the machine used in the hydraulic press channel. The cylinder moves a push block, which shoves the log into a wedge. A great example of a home built hydraulic splitter can be found on [Smalls4068’s] YouTube channel.
