Abstract: A hydraulically powered attachment for a tractor, which attachment can be used alternatively for pressing stakes into the grounds or splitting logs or stakes and comprising a rigid elongate mast, means whereby the mast can be mounted at or adjacent a first of its ends to the three point linkage of a tractor in either a vertical or horizontal orientation, a collar slidable longitudinally of the mast a double-acting hydraulic ram connected between a position at or adjacent said first of the ends of the mast and the slidable collar, an abutment member on the collar, and a knife member securable at or adjacent a second of the ends of the mast, the arrangement being such that with the mast in a vertical orientation the abutment member can be used for pressing stakes into the ground and with the mast in a horizontal orientation the abutment member can press logs or stakes towards the knife member to split the logs or stakes longitudinally.
