This Palax KS 45S is a log splitter — sometimes called a wood splitter — a machine used to split cut rounds of timber into firewood-sized pieces by driving a hydraulic wedge through the wood. Palax is a Finnish manufacturer well regarded in forestry and firewood processing, producing a range of log splitters and firewood processors used in agricultural, forestry, and commercial firewood operations.
This 2015 machine is offered in used condition from Norway, priced at $14,900. The splitter generates 16 tonnes of splitting force and is capable of handling logs up to approximately 45 centimetres in diameter. A notable feature is the hydraulic knife adjustment system, which allows the operator to change the splitting configuration without manual repositioning. Four knife sets are included with the machine — 4-knife, 6-knife, 8-knife, and 12-knife arrangements — providing flexibility to split each round into different numbers of pieces depending on the desired firewood size and wood species.
The machine comes with additional swords and chains. An electric motor connection is present, with wiring in place for an electric motor, indicating the unit can be run on electric power in addition to or as an alternative to another drive source. The seller notes that the motor on the belt drive has been replaced by the previous owner. The machine is described as working as it should. Delivery can be arranged.
