OVERVIEW

EASY TO SPLIT

High-Production Dual Action 42-Ton Commercial Log Splitter

The FS500 log splitter is a powerful, high-production wood splitter ideal for commercial wood splitting operations without the high cost investment of a firewood processor. Powered by a 688cc gas engine, the FS500 makes splitting wood simple with the ability to produce firewood up to 3 cords per hour from logs up to 24” long. With the standard bi-directional push block, 4.5 second cycle time, 42 tons of splitting force, and 2-stage hydraulic pump at 28 GPM, the FS500 can split wood at double the rate of one-directional log splitters.

 

Operation

To prepare for splitting, logs are loaded manually or with the log lift. Once a log is loaded, the bi-directional push block is engaged by pushing the hydraulic lever to the right or left to push the log through one of two standard 3-way wedges (4-way, 5-way, and 5-way bundle wedges optional). With the first pass, the lower portion of the log is split into rectangular firewood for easy stacking, while the upper portion of the log is moved on the opposite side of the push block to finish splitting. Split material is automatically moved and sorted through one of two slotted extra-wide wing trays on either side of the operator.

The veteran-owned and operated MB Tree and Landscape in Sturgis, South Dakota was established in 2010 by Matt King. As the business expanded, Matt found that he could receive up to five times more profit by producing firewood and lumber instead of selling raw timber from the trees he removed. By adding these wood products to his business, the tree service has grown from one man with a pickup truck into a full scale operation with half a dozen employees providing tree removal, firewood, lumber, and seasonal services to clients throughout western South Dakota.
