ABSTRACT:
A log splitting system comprises a splitter box, having entrance and discharge sections, each with top, bottom and sidewalls, and open entrance and discharge ends. A first set of cutting blades in the entrance section divides that section into at least two, first sections. A second set of cutting blades in the discharge section further divides each first section into at least two, second sections. The entrance and discharge sections are hinged at the top and pivot apart for cleaning and service. A ram assembly with a force applying surface contacts a log with the first set of cutting blades. The ram member's surface has surface portions, each sized to fit into one of the splitter box's first section, to further contact the log with the second set of cutting blades, splitting the log into at least four pieces.
