Abstract: A hydraulic log splitter for connection to the three-point snowplow hitch and the hydraulic pressure system of a truck so that the log supporting beam in log splitting position of the splitter is near the ground in a region close to and parallel to the front end of the truck, the beam having a transversely rearwardly and horizontally extending frame which at its rear end is pivotally connected to the lower hitch points for swinging of the beam and frame upwardly and toward the front end of the truck to a traveling position by a chain connected to the frame and to the upper hydraulically actuated hitch point. The log splitter cylinder on the beam which actuates a log pusher plate toward a wedge on the beam has flexible hoses connected to the hydraulic pressure system fluid pressure supply and return conduits which are accessible from the front end of the truck.
