Product Description

The Blacks Creek Model 2500 sits right in the sweet spot of the Blacks Creek lineup — more power and capacity than the entry-level 1250, at a more accessible price point than the full commercial 3000. This is the machine for the serious firewood producer who has outgrown a basic splitter and needs a real processor that handles large diameter logs at genuine production volume.

Powered by a 35HP Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engine with electric start, the Model 2500 drives a tandem hydraulic pump at 22/4.5 GPM through a 28-gallon reservoir with sight and temperature gauge — so you always know exactly what the hydraulic system is doing. The 23-inch harvester bar with automatic electric chain lubrication cuts logs up to 23 inches in diameter and 16 feet long cleanly and consistently, while the 4 x 24-inch splitting cylinder and adjustable 4-way hydraulic wedge splits blocks from 12 to 24 inches in 2-inch increments.

The 12-foot hydraulic chain in-feed log deck, hydraulic saw bar sweep, and hydraulic log clamp work together to keep logs feeding, positioning, and cutting with minimal manual handling. The integrated trash rack keeps the work area clean and organized during production. Electric start means the engine fires up fast and reliably every single time.

When your operation grows, the Model 2500 grows with you — available options including a 40HP EFI engine upgrade, triple hydraulic pump, hydraulic oil cooler, double joystick, live log deck, and more let you build the machine your operation needs.

Ideal For: Serious firewood producers, small to mid-size firewood businesses, farmers, and contractors who process regular volumes of large diameter logs and need a step up from an entry-level processor without the full cost of a commercial flagship machine.

Q&A

Q: How does the Model 2500 compare to the Model 1250 and Model 3000?
A: The Model 2500 sits between the two. The 1250 is Blacks Creek's entry-level processor for households and small producers — 14HP, 16-inch log capacity, 7-foot in-feed deck. The 2500 steps up to 35HP, 23-inch log capacity, and a 12-foot in-feed deck for serious mid-size production. The 3000 is the commercial flagship — 50HP diesel, 25-inch log capacity, 16-foot in-feed deck, and triple hydraulic pump for the highest volume daily operations.

Q: Can I adjust the block length this processor cuts?
A: Yes. The adjustable 4-way hydraulic wedge cuts blocks from 12 to 24 inches adjustable in 2-inch increments. A 36-inch cut-off length is also available as an optional upgrade.

Q: What optional upgrades are available for this machine?
A: The Model 2500 is highly configurable — available options include a 40HP EFI engine upgrade, triple hydraulic pump, hydraulic oil cooler, 6-way wedge, torsion axle, hydraulic log stop, splitter autocycle and quick return, double joystick, 2-foot in-feed deck extension, and live log deck in multiple sizes. Contact us and we will help you build the right setup for your operation.

Q: What does the integrated trash rack do?
A: The trash rack separates sawdust, bark, and small debris from the processed firewood during operation — keeping your work area cleaner and your firewood output cleaner too.

Q: Does the hydraulic reservoir have monitoring gauges?
A: Yes. The 28-gallon reservoir features both a sight gauge and a temperature gauge so you can monitor fluid level and system temperature at a glance during operation.

Q: Is this processor road towable?
A: A torsion axle is available as an optional upgrade for road towing. Contact us to confirm the standard transport configuration and we will help you set up the right towing package for your needs.

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