Abstract
An apparatus for splitting logs into billets and having a pivoting splitter head mounted at one end of an elongated log support upon which logs are placed for splitting. The splitter head is supported by a pin extending from a splitter head mount attached to the log support toward a pusher that forces the log into the splitter head. Platforms are attached to the pusher and extend therefrom along the sides of the log support to receive the billets into which a log is split, the attachment of the platforms to the pusher maintaining the platforms in lateral alignment with the log as the log is split. The apparatus is mounted on a wheeled chassis having a trailer tongue at one thereof for towing the apparatus to a work site.
