Product Description
More capable than the Model 1250, more affordable than the mid-range models — the Blacks Creek Model 1500 is the right starting point for the small firewood producer who wants a genuine stand-alone processor with Honda reliability and real production capability without a large upfront investment.
Powered by a 13HP Honda engine, this processor handles logs up to 16 inches in diameter and 16 feet long — twice the log length of the Model 1250 — making it a meaningful step up for producers who regularly work with longer logs. The 18-inch bar and 3/8 chain cuts cleanly and consistently, and the adjustable 4-way wedge splits blocks from 12 to 24 inches in 1-inch increments so you always get exactly the firewood length you need.
The 11-foot hydraulic belt in-feed log deck feeds logs into the machine smoothly and steadily so you are not stopping to hand-feed every piece. The 2-stage 14/12 GPM hydraulic pump and 10-gallon reservoir keep the system running consistently through the full production session. Gravity-feed chain lubrication keeps the bar oiled without manual intervention.
Simple, reliable, and built in Canada — this is the machine for the small producer who wants to stop splitting by hand and start processing firewood properly without overcomplicating things.
Ideal For: Small firewood producers, hobby farmers, households with high firewood demand, and anyone making the step from a basic log splitter to a genuine entry-level Canadian-made firewood processor.
