Firewood demand peaks in cold weather, when hydraulic oil is thick at startup. Use the cold-weather grade the maker allows and warm the system before full load.
Bark and dust in everything
Bark and sawdust pack around coolers and grease points. Clean daily and keep breathers and filters current.
Products by equipment.
Confirm the lubricant type, grade, and specifications in each equipment manual before ordering.
Firewood processors
Processors run a saw, splitter, and conveyor from one hydraulic system and engine. Match the maker’s hydraulic grade and filter schedule, and use bar oil on the saw.
