Abstract: The present invention provides a durable and economical solution to the dilemma facing individuals in the wood processing industry. In particular, a wood translocation and splitting apparatus in accordance with the present invention allows the user to quickly attach the apparatus to an existing and common utility vehicle such as conventional skid steer loaders. Additionally, the apparatus allows for the grasping of wood to be processed, lifting the wood, positioning the wood over a receptacle, splitting the wood and loading the processed wood into the receptacle. Therefore, not only is the user free from having to manually load the apparatus, but they no longer have to manually pick up and load the split wood.
