Featured Benefits
Right-Sized Power for Your Operation
The Blockbuster B16 is built for firewood operations that need serious splitting power without paying for capacity they don’t need. Choose from a 40 HP EFI Vanguard gas engine, a 49 HP Doosan diesel engine, or step up to the HP Package for the fastest cycle times in the lineup — 8 seconds (gas), 5.5 seconds (diesel), or 3.75 seconds (HP diesel), all with a 30T splitting cylinder.
Built on Blockbuster’s engineering standards, the B16 delivers dependable, high-value performance for growing firewood businesses ready to scale up from entry-level equipment.
HP Package: Built for Speed
The HP Package delivers splitting cycle times at 3.75 seconds, powered by a revised hydraulic platform engineered specifically for the B16 HP. It runs on the same 49 HP diesel engine platform used across all B16 diesel-equipped units, paired with upgraded hydraulics to unlock faster splitting performance.
The HP Package includes:
- Air Compressor for Saw Bar Retract
- Upgraded Hydraulic Package
- Auto Cycle
- Operator’s Seat & Wedge Storage Bracket
Two Deck Configurations to Match Your Volume
The 2-Strand handles logs up to 16 feet, while the 3-Strand extends capacity to logs up to 24 feet — giving operators the flexibility to match deck configuration to the timber they’re processing.
Legless live deck arms allow for quick one-pin setup and create more clearance for log loading equipment underneath — keeping loading fast and simple, cycle after cycle.
Available with 16-Way Wedge
An increased push plate height keeps large-diameter logs from pushing upward or slipping back during splitting, while also enabling compatibility with the 16-way box wedge.
Optional 16′ Folding and Pivoting Conveyor
The 16″ wide heavy-duty chain 16’ long attached conveyor features both hydraulic pivoting and electric remote-controlled winch folding for effortless one-person setup and breakdown. The 60-degree pivot range lets you stack approximately 20 cords of wood in a 12′ tall pile without relocating your processor.
Improved Dust Control System
Proven Blockbuster Reliability
Building on Blockbuster’s firewood processor manufacturing excellence, the B16 incorporates the same heavy-duty construction and attention to detail found across the Blockbuster lineup — giving growing operations a dependable entry point into commercial-grade processing.
