ABSTRACT:
A log splitter includes a main frame supporting a movable push block which forces logs supported within a log trough against a splitting wedge. A splitting wedge is movably mounted to the frame for movement towards and away from the push block. A hydraulic ram is connected to the movable wedge through a roller support box to allow the splitting wedge to be driven toward the push block to aid splitting difficult logs. A downwardly and outwardly extending bark ramp is mounted at the leading edge of the splitting wedge to direct bark and other debris up the bark ramp and out of the log trough as the log is forced through the log trough by the push block.
