Even if the Palax D270 Active is small to the external dimensions, it is handy and effective when it comes to the processing of firewood. The protective net, which opens up completely, makes the maintenance easy, and the in-feed rollers for the logs make handling of the log lighter. Either a tractor, a combustion engine or an electric motor can be selected as the power source of the machine. The machine’s 4-ton cylinder guarantees that the splitting force is more than sufficient for consumer use. Cutting is affected by means of a 13″ saw-bar and a chain-saw. A skilful saw operator is able to sharpen the chain by himself, and, thus, the work will not be suspended by any unnecessary standstills.
