Abstract: The log splitter includes a contilivered I-beam that connects at one end to a three point tractor hitch. An hydraulically activated pusher plate slides along the I-beam to engage one end of a log placed on the beam and drives the log through a wedge-shaped splitting member having two angles of divergent. The tractor supports and adjusts the elevation of the log splitter and provides the fluid drive therefor. A ramp secured to the I-beam assists in loading heavy logs onto the splitting surface and to support the I-beam on the ground.
