ABSTRACT:
A self-elevating wood splitter is disclosed which includes an arrangement for selectively adjusting the vertical position of the wood-supporting frame of the splitter. The splitter includes a height adjusting arrangement which generally comprises a pair of four-bar linkages, and further includes an elevating mechanism which permits the hydraulic actuator of the splitter to be employed for operating the height adjusting arrangement to effect raising and lowering of the splitter's frame. A locking mechanism is provided which includes a pair of adjustment members operatively associated with the height adjusting mechanism of the splitter. Notably, the arrangement operates such that the wood-supporting frame can be raised by operation of the elevating mechanism before selective adjustment of the locking mechanism is effected. By this construction, the load on the locking mechanism can be relieved before adjustment, thus greatly facilitating convenient repositioning of the adjustment members to permit selective adjustment of the height of the splitter's wood-supporting frame.
