ABSTRACT:
A log splitter having a log splitting station positioned between a log retaining plate and a hydraulic cylinder, both mounted upon an elongated frame, is disclosed. In use, the hydraulic cylinder, having a reciprocating piston rod to which a log splitting wedge is attached, pushes the wedge against a log positioned in the splitting station. A pump secured to the frame supplies pressurized hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic cylinder for movement of the piston rod. A valve, in fluid communication with the pump, regulates the flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic cylinder. A knee pedal, positioned adjacent the log splitting station and associatively linked with the valve, selectively controls the hydraulic system and the motion of the reciprocating piston rod.
