ABSTRACT:
A winch-powered wood splitting device designed for attachment to a motor vehicle is disclosed. A rectangular support frame is provided, in which a splitting blade and blade guide rails are positioned. An abutment member is attached to the support frame opposite the splitting blade. The abutment member secures a log or wooden object in position during splitting. The blade is positioned between the blade guide rails, thereby allowing movement of the blade along and through the guide rails. The blade is moved by a pulley mechanism on the underside of the support frame which connects to a vehicle-mounted winch. Operation of the winch pulls the blade toward the abutment member during operation. When splitting is completed, the blade is returned to a rest position by a spring mechanism mounted on the underside of the support frame.
