Abstract: Log splitters are disclosed herein. An embodiment of a log splitter includes a first port having a circumference wherein at least one blade is located on the circumference. There is at least one blade located exterior to the first port, wherein a portion of the log not passing through the first port is split by the blade. The splitter includes a second stage having a second port with at least one blade located on the circumference. In addition, there is at least one blade located exterior to the second port, wherein a portion of the log not passing through the second port is split by the blade.

Abstract: Log splitters are disclosed herein. An embodiment of a log splitter comprises a first stage that includes a first port. The first port includes a first port first end and a first port second end, wherein logs enter the first port first end and exit the first port second. A first blade is located on at least a portion of the first port first end, the first blade having a first surface and a second surface, wherein a plane of the first surface and a plane of the second surface intersect proximate the first port first end. The first surface is substantially parallel to the direction of logs through the first port.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for processing relatively large tree logs into relatively small firewood logs using two spaced apart cutting stations, a central conveyor, a transfer station and a splitter station wherein relatively large tree logs are placed sequentially onto an entrance portion of each of the two spaced apart cutting stations and are cut into rounds which are discharged onto the conveyor and moved to a transfer station. Each round is moved into a splitter station wherein each round is moved over splitter blades to form firewood logs. The splitter blades are mounted in support members secured to a square frame having spaced apart opposite sidewalls wherein the distance between each two aligned support members is greater than the distance between opposite sidewalls.

Abstract: A log splitting head is disclosed which includes a downwardly-sloped top portion having a sharpened leading edge in the form of a V-shaped cutting blade. Beneath the top portion, a first row of vertical cutting blades is provided, each including a sharpened leading edge. Also included is a second row of vertical cutting blades beneath the first row of blades and structurally similar thereto. Separating the two rows of blades is a medial portion having a sharpened leading edge. The sides of the splitting head include two vertical plates having sharpened leading edges. All of these components are arranged in a specific angular configuration designed to accomplish log splitting with maximum efficiency. The entire unit is adapted for attachment to a horizontal platform, and enables the splitting of logs into uniformly sized sections.
