- The Pro-HD XL is Timberwolf’s highest-production commercial firewood processor, engineered for operations that demand exceptional speed, power, and efficiency. Powered by a robust 74 HP Hatz diesel engine, the Pro-HD XL is designed to process large volumes of wood with minimal downtime. Capable of handling logs up to 24 inches in diameter and exceeding 32 feet in length, the machine combines heavy-duty construction with advanced hydraulic performance to produce up to 5 cords of firewood per hour. With cycle times as low as 3 seconds, the Pro-HD XL delivers the productivity needed for commercial producers looking to maximize output and profitability.
- A key advantage of the Pro-HD XL is its ability to efficiently process long, large, and irregular logs. Timberwolf’s driven top roll clamping system applies up to 1,000 pounds of pressure to securely control logs throughout the cutting and feeding process, ensuring smooth and consistent operation even when processing crooked or difficult material. When placed in float mode, the system automatically reduces clamping pressure to approximately 300 pounds, allowing logs to self-adjust while maintaining precise control. Working in conjunction with the driven clamp is the machine’s hourglass-shaped back roller, which naturally guides logs toward the feed system while providing forward and reverse positioning control for accurate alignment and clean cuts.
- Designed specifically for handling logs longer than 32 feet, the Pro-HD XL utilizes dual driven feed rollers and the powered top roll clamp to maintain positive log control throughout the entire feeding cycle. This system minimizes operator intervention while improving feeding consistency, allowing long logs to be processed safely and efficiently. The enhanced feeding capability not only increases production speed but also reduces material handling requirements, helping operators process more wood with less effort.
- Supporting the machine’s high-production capabilities is a heavy-duty 4-strand live deck that comes standard with every Pro-HD XL. The live deck is capable of supporting a full cord of logs and utilizes driven roller chains to automatically advance material onto the feed trough. This design significantly reduces manual loading and repositioning while improving the machine’s ability to handle smaller, crooked, or irregular logs. For added convenience, the live deck is equipped with hydraulic lift functionality for quick setup and can be stored vertically using the integrated stow bar for safe and efficient transportation.
- At the heart of the Pro-HD XL’s impressive productivity is a high-performance hydraulic system built around a 5-inch splitting cylinder. Combined with a regeneration manifold and optimized 2:1 cylinder ratio, the system allows the push block to cycle in as little as 3 to 4.5 seconds. This rapid cycle speed dramatically increases throughput and enables operators to consistently produce 4 cords per hour or more under typical working conditions. The result is a machine capable of maintaining high-volume production throughout the workday without sacrificing splitting power or performance.
- Powering these functions is an advanced three-stage high-pressure gear pump system that delivers different hydraulic flow rates to various machine functions simultaneously. This intelligent hydraulic design provides both speed and force where they are needed most, allowing multiple operations to occur at the same time without compromising performance. By reducing delays between processing steps, the hydraulic system helps maximize overall efficiency and keeps production moving continuously.
- To further streamline firewood handling, the Pro-HD XL can be equipped with an integrated conveyor system. Offered in 10 and 18-foot lengths, the conveyor allows finished firewood to be transported directly into piles, trucks, trailers, or storage areas with minimal manual labor. Mounted on a pivoting system, the conveyor provides up to 15 degrees of movement on either side of center for a total 30-degree sweep, giving operators greater flexibility when managing finished product. Hydraulic deployment and lift functions simplify setup and make repositioning fast and effortless.
- The Pro-HD XL is also designed to deliver long-term durability and consistent firewood quality. Available AR400 steel splitting wedges are engineered to withstand demanding production environments while maintaining exceptional splitting performance over thousands of cycles. Operators can choose from 4-way, 6-way, 8-way, or 12-way wedge configurations to match production requirements and wood characteristics, producing clean, uniform firewood while maximizing output from every log.
- Operator convenience and efficiency remain central to the Pro-HD XL’s design. The machine combines automated feeding systems, powerful hydraulic controls, rapid cycle times, and high-capacity material handling to reduce physical labor and simplify daily operation. Features such as the driven roller clamp, hydraulic live deck, integrated conveyor options, and precision feeding controls allow operators to maintain a smooth, consistent workflow with fewer interruptions and greater productivity throughout the day.
- To further improve processing consistency, the Pro-HD XL comes standard with AutoStop technology, which automatically stops the infeed at the selected cut length for accurate and repeatable firewood production. For operators seeking even greater convenience and reduced maintenance, an optional automatic chain tensioning system is available to continuously maintain proper chain tension, helping extend component life while ensuring optimal cutting performance.
Newly Improved Cut Time
Timberwolf's Pro-HD Series Firewood Processors now feature a Bent Axis Piston Saw Motor. Our engineers worked to customize the internals of the motor, making it the perfect addition to our updated Pro-HD Series frame. The Pro-HD now uses a Gem Bar and Sprocket, which is thicker than our previous bar, for increased performance and longevity.
With a saw speed of 8,700 fpm, this robust and reliable hydraulic motor dramatically improves the performance of the commercial firewood processor, cutting three times as fast as older Pro-HD Series models.
The highly efficient saw motor allows operators to cut logs up to 24" in diameter in just 5.5 seconds, resulting in an average cord output of 5+ cords per hour.
Innovative Firewood Machinery
Our patented top roll clamping system allows operators to process 32' long logs through a 16' long feed trough.
The driven top roll clamping system applies 1,000 pounds of downward pressure on logs being processed, which is enough pressure to leave a few feet of the log hanging off the back roller with full security.
No more cutting down logs before processing them, just get right down to business.
Enhanced Traction on Forward-Moving Logs
The Pro-HD XL processor's hourglass-shaped back roller feeds logs toward the top roll clamping system. The back roller's teeth engage logs and can move them forward or backward for adjustments, so operators can position forward-moving logs with the top roll clamping system for a clean and quick cut.
Pump Flows For Performance
A 3-stage high pressure gear pump controls various functions of the firewood processor with a chainsaw. The first stage has a pump flow of 33 GPM and powers the splitter. The second stage has a pump flow of 22 GPM and powers the saw. The third stage controls the auxiliary functions of the Pro-HD XL wood processor, such as the conveyor, live deck, and feed trough, with a pump flow of 14 GPM. These flow rates allow for faster and more powerful operations, from the feed trough to the power saw.
74 HP Diesel Engine
The most powerful of our firewood processor models, the Pro-HD XL runs on a 74 HP Hatz diesel engine. This engine allows for longer run times, which means more production. It drives a 33GPM splitting pump and provides 3,000 PSI of splitting pressure.
Large Hydraulic Tank
Along with a 74HP engine, the Pro-HD XL firewood processor has a 70-gallon hydraulic tank. These features combined, allow for maximum power and fast cycle times. The size of the hydraulic tank and filler breather ensures that the contained fluid is cooled and filtered with each stroke, also equipped with internal baffles to eliminate vortices.
Regeneration Manifold Speed
Featured on the Pro-HD XL firewood processor: the Timberwolf regeneration manifold. The regen manifold drives a regeneration cycle when hydraulics move through the valve. A regeneration cycle is used to decrease the time it takes to extend the rod from the cylinder until it hits the workpiece. This allows a cylinder to be extended more rapidly while using the same pump flow.
This manifold creates fast cycle times on the wood processor without using more energy, allowing for higher cord per hour output with less operator time spent.
4-Strand Live Deck
The Pro-HD XL firewood processors for sale come standard with a 4-stand live deck that better handles small and/or crooked logs because of the additional surface area that can support logs that may fall off.
The live deck is moved easily via a hydraulic lift, allowing for simple setup at the jobsite, and can be stored and secured vertically for transportation. Fully DOT certified and road legal, these machines were designed with mobility in mind. Drive at highway speed with comfort. Ample ground clearance to get into the nastiest of landings. Deploy in minutes to maximize processing times.
Time-Saving Hydraulic Wedge Lift
With the Pro-HD XL's hydraulic wedge lift operators can raise and lower the firewood processor wedge from the operator's panel. This Pro-HD XL firewood processor function eliminates the need for operators to manually change the wedge height or change out the wedge altogether.
Just size up your block and watch your firewood wedge of choice split the log into uniformly sized firewood. Then do it all again, no matter the size of your block.
AR400 Steel Constructed Wedges
All of our firewood splitting wedges are constructed from AR400 steel, which is designed for abrasion and wear resistance. Our 4-Way, 6-Way, 8-Way, and 12-Way Wedges will still be splitting with the quality of the first split on their 10,000th split.
Hoses That Handle Everything and More
All Timberwolf firewood processors use industrial-grade hoses to route the flow of hydraulic functions. We use heavy-duty hoses because of their rugged construction, abrasion and kink resistance, and, most importantly, their ability to withstand high-pressure fluids.
Customer safety is a top priority for us, so we use the highest quality materials to ensure your safety.
