- The TW-LS is an entry-level firewood machine designed to bridge the gap between residential log splitters and commercial firewood processing equipment. Its compact footprint and economical price point make it an excellent choice for homeowners and hobbyists producing firewood for personal use, while its heavy-duty construction and commercial-grade components provide the durability and productivity needed by firewood producers operating a growing business. Built to withstand daily use in demanding environments, the TW-LS offers the reliability and long-term performance necessary for consistent firewood production season after season.
- At the heart of the TW-LS is a dependable 11.7 HP Honda GX390 electric-start engine, delivering the power required for serious firewood production while remaining fuel-efficient and easy to operate. Known for its durability and low maintenance requirements, the GX390 provides smooth and consistent performance without the need for premium fuel. The engine's advanced design minimizes vibration and noise levels, improves fuel economy, reduces oil consumption, and delivers cleaner exhaust emissions. Electric start functionality further enhances convenience, allowing operators to get to work quickly with minimal effort.
- The TW-LS utilizes a powerful hydraulic system built around a 4-inch hydraulic cylinder, a high-flow 22 GPM hydraulic pump, and a 26-inch stroke. This combination generates an impressive 30.375 tons of splitting force while maintaining a rapid 4.5-second cycle time. The result is a machine capable of processing tough hardwoods and large rounds efficiently without sacrificing productivity. Fast cycle times allow operators to keep material moving through the machine, reducing downtime and increasing overall output throughout the workday.
- Thanks to its commercial-grade hydraulic performance and efficient workflow design, the TW-LS is capable of producing more than a full cord of firewood per hour under optimal operating conditions. This level of productivity makes the machine a practical solution for homeowners looking to reduce processing time as well as commercial operators seeking to maximize profitability. By combining speed, power, and reliability in a compact package, the TW-LS delivers exceptional production capacity relative to its size and investment cost.
- A hydraulic log lift comes standard on the TW-LS, allowing operators to safely and efficiently handle logs weighing up to 250 pounds. This feature significantly reduces the physical strain associated with loading large rounds, improving operator comfort and reducing fatigue during long production sessions. The hydraulic lift eliminates much of the manual labor involved in firewood processing, making it possible for a single operator to process larger logs safely while maintaining a consistent workflow.
- Once lifted into the machine, logs are directed into a specially designed splitting chamber that automatically centers each piece for splitting. This self-centering design minimizes the need for manual repositioning and ensures that logs are properly aligned with the wedge before each cycle begins. By reducing adjustments and improving split consistency, the chamber helps increase efficiency while allowing operators to focus on production rather than material handling.
- The integrated table grate improves workflow by functioning as both a catch table and a debris management system. Firewood pieces that require additional splitting remain accessible on the grate, while bark, chips, and smaller debris fall through the openings below. This design helps maintain a cleaner and more organized work area while reducing the time spent gathering and sorting material. Processed firewood is directed into a single pile, making it easier to load onto a conveyor, transfer into storage, or place directly into a truck bed for transport.
- Standard auto-cycle functionality further enhances productivity by allowing the splitting ram to automatically complete its return cycle without continuous operator input. This feature streamlines operation, reduces repetitive control movements, and enables a smoother, more efficient workflow. For single-operator firewood production, auto-cycle operation helps maximize output while minimizing operator fatigue throughout the day.
- The TW-LS comes equipped with a hydraulically adjustable 4-way wedge, allowing operators to produce multiple pieces of firewood with each splitting cycle. The adjustable design makes it easy to adapt to varying log sizes and firewood specifications, improving overall processing efficiency. By creating multiple pieces in a single pass, the 4-way wedge reduces the number of cycles required to process each log, helping increase production rates and lower operating costs.
- For operators seeking even greater output, the TW-LS can be equipped with an optional 6-way wedge. This upgrade allows even more firewood pieces to be produced per cycle, dramatically increasing productivity when processing suitable material. The additional output can help commercial producers maximize profitability, reduce labor requirements, and keep pace with growing customer demand, making the TW-LS a highly scalable solution for expanding firewood operations.
Compact Splitting without a Drop in Production
Bring your productivity to new heights with the Timberwolf TW-LS firewood log splitter, designed to maximize efficiency and reduce operator effort during every stage of the splitting process. Built for serious firewood production, it streamlines workflow so you can process more wood in less time with less physical strain, making it ideal for both residential and commercial use.
Our Autocycle system automatically controls the splitting ram, moving it forward to push the log into the wedge and then retracting it after each split. This eliminates the need to manually operate a control lever for every cycle, allowing you to continuously load new logs while the machine runs. The result is a faster, smoother, and more efficient splitting process that significantly increases overall output and keeps production moving without interruption.

Whether you're preparing firewood for personal use or managing a steady supply for resale, the TW-LS provides the durability and output needed to keep up with real-world demands.
This machine is a versatile solution suitable for a wide range of users, from homeowners and hobbyists who want reliable seasonal firewood production to commercial operators who depend on consistent daily output. Built with heavy-duty construction and engineered for long-term use, the TW-LS is capable of handling demanding workloads without compromising performance. Its combination of power, efficiency, and ease of operation makes it an ideal choice for anyone looking to produce high volumes of firewood without investing in oversized or overly complex machinery.
Profiting from a Single-Person Operation
The LS-16 home log splitter is equipped with a powerful hydraulic log lift designed to handle blocks weighing up to 250 pounds with ease. This feature eliminates the need for manual lifting of heavy, awkward logs, allowing a single operator to safely move, position, and load large pieces of wood without assistance. By streamlining this most physically demanding step, the machine reduces fatigue, improves safety, and significantly increases overall efficiency—helping operators prepare logs for splitting faster and maintain a steady, productive workflow that results in higher cord output.
Once logs are lifted and transferred into the splitting area, the LS’s intelligently designed splitting chamber automatically helps center each log as it is deposited from the lift. This built-in alignment system ensures that logs are properly positioned for each split with minimal manual adjustment required. As a result, operators spend less time handling and repositioning wood and more time actively splitting, creating a smoother, more efficient process that maximizes productivity while reducing effort.
