ABSTRACT:
A log splitting apparatus includes a horizontal beam, a hydraulic ram mounted at one end of the beam, and a wedge secured to the other end of the beam. A log placed between the ram and the wedge is split by extending the ram. The wedge is formed by a simple and inexpensive yet sturdy construction which includes a vertical center plate, a pair of wedge plates which are secured to and extend laterally away from the center plate, and gusset plates which extend perpendicularly to the center plate and reinforce the wedge plates. The ram is operable by two operating handles--one for high speed operation and one for high power operation. The handles can be operated separately or simultaneously to provide three operating speeds.
