You have several options if you are looking for a wood processor for your Kubota tractor. You can choose the S2X 800, Halverson HWP 140B, or Japa 365+ Pro. The Japa is one of the most potent options on the market, and it has a long list of features. It also boasts excellent uptime and high output. A short-throw joystick helps you operate the processor.
S2X 800
The S2X 800 wood processor for the front end of a Kubota tractor was designed to improve the firewood processing operation of contractors and landscapers. It replaces a four-way log splitter that requires two operators to process each log. Its front-end quartering and feeding capabilities produce cleaner records that are easier to split.
Bill Mollard, the owner of Timberline Landscape Care in Davis, West Virginia, recently became a dealer of the Black Splitter S2X 800 wood processor for the front end of Kubota tractors. This German-made tool allows an operator to split large timbers without leaving the tractor’s cab. Timberline has serviced commercial and residential customers for eight years in a heavily forested area near Blackwater Falls State Park.
Halverson HWP 140B
If you’re looking for a versatile wood processor attachment that’s powerful and easy to use, the Halverson HWP 140B for the front of a Kubota tractor is a great option. Made in Minnesota, this unit can process up to a cord and a half of firewood per hour. It also features an auto chain oiler and multiple splitting heads.
In addition to the Halverson HWP 140B for the front of Kubota tractors, Halverson Wood Products also produces two other models of firewood processors for your Kubota tractor.
