ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for splitting wood and specifically logs. The apparatus includes a conical splitting device which is attached to a vehicle wheel hub and is rotated as the wheel is driven. A separate mounting plate attaches the splitting device to the wheel hub which enables one splitting device to be mounted on a variety of vehicle wheel hubs by the use of a variety of mounting plates. The splitting device itself has a spirally-grooved cone with a truncated conical portion behind the cone to prevent the possibility of logs riding up the device and damaging the wheel hub or adjacent portions of the vehicle.
