ABSTRACT:
A double-action vertical wood splitter, intended to be mounted on a tractor or the like, splits wood on each stroke of the hydraulic actuator for highly efficient, fast and safe operation. A removable double-edged blade is mounted on an elongated carriage which telescopically interacts with the frame resulting in a splitter which is very small and compact, extremely maneuverable, and capable of use in rugged terrain. A log positioning cradle holds the wood being split in position on the splitter; additionally, it allows the operator to work from a position of safety in the event that the wood splits violently or attempts to kick out of the splitter. The splitter can split logs up to four feet long and has the ability to split logs which are accidentally cut too long to fit on the splitter. The blade is self-freeing in the event it becomes jammed in the log being split. The balde coupling system allows the splitting blade to be removed for maintenance or replaced with a another style blade; or, it allows the splitter to be used as a hydraulic power unit which may be used with other useful attachments.
