ABSTRACT:
A log splitter of the horizontal track, upstanding blade, reciprocating carriage type is driven by mechanical rather than hydraulic mechanism to reduce cost and weight and breakage. Instead of crank arms, a gear rack and spur gear system is provided, there being a large drive gear meshed with the spur gear, and a small diameter, light weight flywheel on the motor drive shaft, the mechanical advantage being sixteen to one or more. A safety overload kick-off is incorporated into the control mechanism for automatic actuation when a log presents unusual resistance to splitting.
