ABSTRACT:
A tractor mounted log splitting apparatus is provided having a log splitting tool and log stop bar and support assembly which are adapted for mounted interengagement with power drive means attached to the tractor and projecting laterally outward from a frame structure thereof. The tractor includes a frame engine power unit and driving wheels mounted thereon with power drive means extending axially forward of the frame. This apparatus also includes a rear stabilizing support adapted to be secured to a rear portion of the tractor frame. The log splitting tool includes a conically shaped splitter head provided with a spiral auger surface and an axial mounting and drive shaft which extends from the base of the splitter head and which shaft is mechanically interengageable with the power drive means. The log stop bar and support assembly also functions as a front stabilizing support stand and includes a stop bar that is positioned to extend parallel and in spaced relationship to the conical surface of the splitter head. In this tractor mounted log splitting apparatus combination, the power drive means and the log splitting tool with stop bar are selectively positionable in either a horizontal operable position or in a vertically oriented transport position.
