ABSTRACT:
A log splitter and method for splitting logs, rails or the like, comprising a pair of double acting fluid cylinder operators in a parallel spaced side-by-side arrangement, which operators are interconnected by a butt plate extending therebetween against which one end of a log to be split may be butted. Means are provided for connecting the cylinders to a fluid source for simultaneous actuation thereof. A cutting or splitting blade is connected to the fluid cylinder operators through adjustable length connecting means such as chains, or the like, for use with logs of different length including those of greater length than the stroke of the fluid cylinder pistons. The log splitter is lightweight, portable, and readily adapted for connection to the fluid pressure source of a tractor, or the like, for use thereof in the field. The novel log splitting method includes performing successive splitting operations on a log by shortening the adjustable length connecting means after each cutting stroke.
