The Silvalog TYN38 series brings together three firewood processors built around the same clear idea: dependable performance, straightforward operation and the freedom to choose the level of control that fits your work.
From an accessible entry model to a fully equipped joystick-controlled machine, the range gives landowners, farms and professional firewood producers a practical path to more efficient production.
One platform, three ways to work
Not every firewood operation has the same requirements. Some users value simplicity and direct manual control. Others need a higher degree of hydraulic assistance, integrated material handling and a workflow designed for longer production days.
The TYN38 series has therefore been developed as three distinct models: TYN38 Active, TYN38 Advanced and TYN38 Joystick. Each model serves a different level of production while retaining the robust construction and practical design that define the series.
Across the range, the machines are designed to process logs up to 38 cm in diameter and produce firewood lengths up to 56 cm. An 18-inch saw system and a standard four-way splitting knife provide a versatile foundation for everyday firewood work.
TYN38 Active — the straightforward starting point
TYN38 Active is the entry model in the series. It is designed for users who want to begin processing firewood efficiently without investing in a more complex machine than their operation requires.
The model combines manual sawing with hydraulic splitting, creating a clear and easy-to-understand workflow. Its stripped-back construction reduces complexity while giving the operator direct control over every stage of the process.
Active is particularly well suited to farms, landowners and smaller firewood operations looking for a reliable first machine. Its modular design also means that the setup can be expanded as production needs grow, allowing the user to start with the essentials and add material-handling equipment over time.
- Simple and direct operation
- Manual sawing with hydraulic splitting
- 12-ton splitting force
- Modular platform that can grow with the operation
- A strong choice for smaller and medium-sized production
TYN38 Advanced — more assistance, greater capacity
TYN38 Advanced is the next step for users who want a more complete production flow and a higher level of hydraulic assistance.
It retains the approachable character of the TYN38 platform while adding equipment that supports faster, smoother material handling. The integrated conveyor and practical operator layout help reduce unnecessary movement around the machine and create a more continuous working rhythm.
Advanced is available in configurations with 7 or 12 tonnes of splitting force. This allows the machine to be matched to the type of timber, desired cycle time and level of splitting power required by the operator.
- More hydraulically assisted operation
- Integrated output conveyor
- Available with 7 or 12 tonnes of splitting force
- Designed for a consistent and efficient workflow
- Compatible with accessories for log handling and feeding
TYN38 Joystick — centralised control for demanding work
At the top of the range, TYN38 Joystick is developed for operators who want maximum control from one central working position.
The hydraulic servo joystick brings the machine’s main functions together in one control. Log feeding, sawing and the transition into splitting can be managed quickly and precisely, helping the operator maintain a smooth rhythm with fewer unnecessary movements.
The Joystick model is available with 7 or 12 tonnes of splitting force. The 7-ton configuration offers a particularly fast cycle for normal-sized timber, while the 12-ton version provides additional power for harder, larger or more demanding logs.
An organised electrical system, carefully planned hydraulic components and an operator-focused layout make the machine well suited to longer working sessions and more intensive firewood production.
- Hydraulic servo joystick
- Centralised control of the main functions
- Available with 7 or 12 tonnes of splitting force
- Integrated feeding and output conveyors
- Designed for precise, efficient and ergonomic operation
Built around the timber, the operator and the workflow
Productivity is not determined by splitting force alone. The complete workflow—from bringing the log to the machine to moving finished firewood away—has a major impact on output and operator fatigue.
The TYN38 series can be combined with accessories such as a log lift, log deck and alternative splitting knives. These additions allow each machine to be adapted to the available workspace, the type of timber being processed and the desired level of material handling.
This modular approach also makes it possible to develop the setup over time. A customer can begin with the machine that fits today’s operation and add equipment as production volumes increase.
Designed for real outdoor conditions
Every TYN38 model is developed for work in the environments where firewood is actually produced. Robust protective panels, practical service access and proven hydraulic solutions contribute to dependable operation in changing Scandinavian conditions.
Electric and petrol-powered configurations make it possible to select a power source based on the workplace. Whether the machine is used beside a farm building, in a timber yard or moved between work sites, the aim remains the same: predictable performance and a workflow the operator can trust.
Which TYN38 is right for you?
Choose TYN38 Active if you value simple operation, direct control and a modular entry point into efficient firewood processing.
Choose TYN38 Advanced if you want more hydraulic assistance, integrated material handling and a higher-capacity workflow without moving to full joystick control.
Choose TYN38 Joystick if you want the main functions gathered in one central control and a machine designed for precise, efficient operation during demanding production days.
All three models share the same practical Silvalog philosophy: build the machine around the work, make the important functions easy to understand and give the customer room to expand.
