Log splitter
The Bachtold Brute is a commercial duty log splitter.
The eight horsepower Honda engine delivers 22 tonnes of log-shearing force. It has a log tray that extends and retracts with the hydraulic cylinder to carry the log while splitting it and bringing back the unsplit section so the operator can split it again.
The tray has a 90-kilogram capacity and holds logs up to 66 centimetres long.
