Abstract: A wheel supported mobile log splitter has an elongated frame supporting a stationary wedge-shaped log splitting element and an opposing movable ram which is connected to the piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder mounted on the frame. The cylinder is supplied with high pressure hydraulic fluid by an engine driven pump which receives fluid from a hydraulic reservoir associated with the frame and is also connected to the reservoir by a line having a high pressure relief valve. Hydraulic fluid is exhausted from the cylinder and returned to the reservoir through a pair of control valves which are coupled together and actuated simultaneously to provide for rapid return of the ram and for minimizing the cycle time to split a log.

Abstract: A motor vehicle is provided with a transceiver which is coupled to a rear mounted antenna system constructed to be unobtrusive and virtually undetectable in addition to being a good radiator.
