ABSTRACT:
A log splitting apparatus is provided with a sensing mechanism arranged with adjustment linkages to vary the position of a cutter blade in accordance with the sensed diameter of a given log to-be-split. A sensing wheel is arranged to ride on the side of the log, and is mounted on a pivotable arm operatively connected to the cutter blade. The pivotable arm is connected to mechanical linkages so as to automatically position a cutter assembly for producing the splitting of logs substantially in half. An optional multi-blade cutter assembly produces quartering of a log during a single log feeding operation.
