HAHN 250/B vs 250/B2 Firewood Processor Comparison

At Hahn Machinery, we’ve built our reputation on "common sense" engineering. When we released the original HAHN 250/B, it changed the game for firewood producers who needed a professional-grade processor in a compact, mobile package.

But we didn't stop there. We listened to the operators in the woodyards and the professionals in the field. The result? The HAHN 250/B2. While the original 250/B remains a workhorse, the B2 is a complete evolution designed for those who need to push more wood through the machine with less effort. Here are the five key upgrades that make the B2 the new standard in firewood processing.

HAHN 250/B

​1.  New Dual Chain Infeed Trough
Handling crooked or slick logs can slow down even the best operator. The B2 replaces the standard infeed with a new dual chain infeed trough. This provides significantly better traction and stability, ensuring that your logs stay on track and consistently move smoothly into the cutting chamber.

2.  Heavier Splitter Beam & New Wedge Design
To handle more pressure and different wedge designs, we’ve reinforced the core of the machine. The B2 features a heavier splitter beam specifically engineered to support our redesigned wedge system with up to a 16-way splitting wedge.

3.  The Power of Choice: 4, 6, 8, 12 & 16-Way Wedges
This is the game-changer. Thanks to the reinforced beam and new design, the B2 can now accommodate 12-way and 16-way splitting wedges, allowing you to split a log into 16 consistent pieces in a single stroke and produce uniform size firewood faster than ever before.

4.  Wider Tip Tray
Efficiency is all about flow. We’ve increased the width of the tip tray on the B2 to better catch and align blocks as they drop from the saw. This wider "landing zone" reduces the chance of jams and ensures that even your largest diameter logs transition smoothly into the splitter.

5.  Wider Dual Chain Outfeed Conveyor
High-volume splitting requires high-volume clearing. To match the speed of the new 16-way wedge, we’ve upgraded the outfeed to a wider dual chain conveyor. This ensures that wood moves away from the splitter quickly and cleanly, preventing bottlenecks and keeping your woodpile growing at record speeds.

The original 250/B is a rugged built machine for those who need a reliable, compact, professional firewood processor.  However, if you are a commercial producer where flexibility & cords-per-hour are the most important metrics on your balance sheet, the HAHN 250/B2 is built for you. With its multitude of standard features & wedge options, it is designed to work as hard as you do.
