Wood-Mizer Announces New Line of Wood Splitters

Wood-Mizer LLC, the world’s leading sawmill manufacturer, announces the addition of wood splitters to their diverse line of wood processing equipment. Acquiring the product line formally manufactured and marketed by Tempest Wood Splitters, Inc., Wood-Mizer now offers a variety of wood splitters ranging from compact units for personal use to commercial equipment for bundle and firewood businesses.

Tempest appealed to Wood-Mizer because of the advanced design and high performance of their wood splitting equipment line. The Minnesota-based Tempest Wood Splitters, Inc. was established in 2001 by Josh Larabee and his father as a solution to the backbreaking work they experienced splitting wood by hand. “Helping people eliminate the physical work that manual log splitting demands has been a dream come true for my dad and I throughout the years,” said Josh. “I look forward to seeing our wood splitting products continue to grow and assist individuals and businesses through the high quality distribution network and reputation for outstanding customer service that Wood-Mizer has delivered to its customers for more than 30 years.”

Wood-Mizer plans to offer a wide variety of wood splitting equipment beginning with top quality fully portable units and then expanding to also offer the skid-steer and auxiliary hydraulic unit attachments. The equipment will be priced from $7,000 to $25,000. “Wood-Mizer is continuously dedicated to providing our customers with a variety of high-quality wood processing equipment,” said Wood-Mizer COO Darryl Floyd. “Our new line of wood splitting equipment offers our customers yet another resourceful tool to efficiently and profitably process wood into another useful and marketable end product.”
