ABSTRACT:
Log splitting pincers 20 are mounted on the bucket pivot 17 of a dipperstick 12 of a backhoe 10 in place of a backhoe bucket and are operated by the hydraulic curl actuator 16 of dipperstick 12 for splitting logs. Pincers 20 include a wedge 30 braced and fixed to the boom side of dipperstick 12 and a pusher 40 operated by bucket linkage 15 and 16 in a curl motion toward and away from wedge 30. Pusher 40 has a curved surface confronting wedge 30 for engaging an end of a log to be split and driving the log onto wedge 30. A backhoe operator can maneuver dipperstick 12 and log pincers 20 to orient, lift, and split logs without any manual handling of the logs.
