ABSTRACT:
An adjustable multi-wedge splitting head for a log splitting apparatus equipped with a ram for axially advancing pre-cut logs toward the splitting head in a horizontal direction includes a vertically oriented stationary post and a stationary triangular splitting wedge disposed between the post and the log to be split. The post holds upper and lower multiple splitting wedge assemblies which can be slideably positioned on the post by hydraulic cylinder/piston units. The triangular splitting wedge severs a log into two pieces. The wedge assemblies then sever the initially produced two pieces into smaller pieces, the number of which corresponds to the number of blades in the assembly positioned to interact with the log.
