Product Description

You do not need a skid steer or tractor to get into real firewood processing. The Blacks Creek Model 1250 Stand-Alone is the entry point into the Blacks Creek lineup — a genuine Canadian-made firewood processor that runs on its own 14HP Briggs and Stratton engine and is ready to work right where you set it up.

Built for households and small firewood producers who want a real processor without a large commercial investment, the Model 1250 handles logs up to 16 inches in diameter and 8 feet long — sawing, splitting, and sizing firewood in one continuous operation. The 18-inch bar and 3/8 chain cuts cleanly and precisely, while the adjustable 4-way hydraulic wedge splits blocks from 12 to 24 inches in 2-inch increments so you always get the right length.

The 7-foot hydraulic chain in-feed log deck keeps logs feeding steadily so you are not stopping to hand-feed every piece, and the 3.5 x 24-inch splitting cylinder delivers consistent splitting force on every pass. Gravity-feed chain lubrication keeps the bar properly oiled during operation without manual intervention.

When you are ready to grow, available options including a hydraulic log lift, out-feed conveyor, and live log deck let you scale the machine up with your operation — all without needing to buy a new machine.

Ideal For: Households, hobby farmers, and small firewood producers who want a genuine Canadian-made stand-alone firewood processor that runs independently without a skid steer or tractor and delivers real processing performance at an entry-level price point.

Q&A

Q: What is the difference between the Model 1250 Stand-Alone and the Model 1250 Skid Steer / Tractor Mount?
A: Both share identical specs — same engine, same log capacity, same in-feed deck, same wedge. The key difference is how they are powered and supported. The Skid Steer / Tractor Mount version attaches to your existing machine for support and positioning. The Stand-Alone version runs independently on its own engine and frame — no skid steer or tractor required. If you do not own a skid steer or tractor, the Stand-Alone is the right choice.

Q: Is this processor suitable for a household or small firewood operation?
A: Yes — that is exactly who it is built for. The Model 1250 is Blacks Creek's entry-level processor for households and small firewood producers who want real processing performance without the cost of a full commercial machine.

Q: What is the maximum log size this processor can handle?
A: The Model 1250 handles logs up to 16 inches in diameter and up to 8 feet in length.

Q: Can I adjust the block length this machine cuts?
A: Yes. The adjustable 4-way hydraulic wedge produces blocks from 12 to 24 inches, adjustable in 2-inch increments — so you get exactly the firewood length you need every time.

Q: Can I add electric start to this model?
A: Yes. Electric start is available as an optional add-on — battery not included. Feel free to reach out if you would like to add it to your order.

Q: What optional upgrades are available for this machine?
A: Available options include a 13HP Honda engine upgrade, electric start, hydraulic log lift, 4 x 5-foot log deck, 8-foot out-feed conveyor, and a live log deck in multiple sizes. Contact us to configure the right setup for your operation.

Q: Is this machine made in Canada?
A: Yes. Blacks Creek firewood processors are designed and built in Canada to professional quality standards.
