ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for splitting logs by pushing the logs endwise against a stationary splitting wedge. A gasoline motor drives a pump which powers a hydraulic ram in conventional fashion. The frame means upon which the wedge is mounted comprise two U-shaped channel members fixedly secured with the legs of the Us extending toward one another and the free edges in spaced, parallel relation on the top and bottom, whereby a log may be supported upon the upper free edges while being advanced against the wedge. The log-engaging member of the ram is also supported and guided by the channel members. Automatic throttle advance and hydraulic valve control mechanisms are also provided.
