Wallenstein WP245 | Firewood Processors | Winch Infeed - Tractor 2022

The Wallenstein WP245 Firewood Processor is a tractor-mounted firewood processing system designed to turn logs into firewood using your tractor’s hydraulic power. With a 25-ton split force, a 24-inch split opening, and capacity for logs up to 22 inches in diameter, the WP245 is built for demanding firewood production. Its hydraulic winch infeed helps position logs for processing, while the three-point hitch mounting system provides compatibility with Category I and Category II tractors. With throughput of up to 2 bush cords per hour, automatic cycle operation, and a range of integrated handling features, the WP245 is suited to property owners, firewood producers, and operators processing substantial quantities of wood.

Efficient Tractor-Powered Firewood Processing

The Wallenstein WP245 transfers hydraulic power directly from the tractor to the processor. Its 25-ton splitting system provides the force needed for firewood production, with a 24-inch split opening and a maximum log diameter of 22 inches. The full-stroke splitting cycle time varies with the hydraulic flow supplied by the tractor, allowing performance to respond to the capabilities of the host machine.

The processor is designed for practical operation from log handling through discharge. Its hydraulic winch has a pulling capacity of 1,550 lb and includes 50 feet of 1/4-inch rope to help bring logs into position. A length indicator supports consistent processing, while the adjustable 4-way wedge allows the operator to configure the split. The adjustable offload chute directs processed firewood away from the machine, with a discharge chute height of 54 inches.
