ABSTRACT:
A log splitter having a base structure on which are mounted two lever arms pivoted together in tong or pincer fashion. The arms are interconnected by a two-way hydraulic cylinder and piston assembly which, when extended, moves the free ends of the arms apart to receive a log endwise between them. The end of one arm has a stop or anvil and the alined end of the other arm has a splitter blade directed toward the anvil so that, when the cylinder is retracted, the splitter blade splits the log. The arrangement features the mounting of the arms and cylinder and piston assembly as a unit for selective angular positioning about the lengthwise axis of the cylinder. Also, the unit is carried on the base structure by an elevator assembly for selective vertical positioning, preferably by a second cylinder and piston unit. Valve means are conveniently provided for controlling the cylinders. Fluid lines lead from the valve means to a power source, such as an internal-combustion engine and hydraulic pump, which may be positioned remotely from the apparatus so as to minimize noise. Portability of the apparatus is another feature.
