Pilkemaster Other models

The register lists here 16 versions with unladen weights from 450 to 750 kg, permitted gross weights likewise up to 750 kg, lengths from 4,875 to 5,300 mm and widths from 1,550 to 1,725 mm.

As a trailer with a firewood processor mounted on it, Pilkemaster sits right at the edge of the 750-kilogram class in which trailers may be operated without a brake system of their own; the machine itself accounts for a large share of the unladen weight. The EVO generation, with its wider range of build sizes, succeeds the older Classic range.

When buying used, besides the condition of the frame, axle and lighting, what matters most is the condition of the splitting mechanism, the hydraulics, hydraulic hoses and fittings, and the drive components of the mounted wood splitter. As unladen weight and permitted gross weight sit close together on several types, it is worth checking the values recorded in the registration papers before purchase, along with the tyres and wheel bearings after years of use in forest and field conditions.
