Abstract: A log splitting system comprises a splitter box, having top, bottom and sidewalls, and open entrance and discharge ends. A first set of cutting blades secured adjacent to the entrance end divides the entrance end into at least two, first sections. A second set of cutting blades, secured adjacent to the first set of cutting blades and opposite the entrance end, further divides each splitter box's first section into at least two, second sections. A ram assembly with a force applying surface moveable toward the splitter box's entrance end contacts a log with the first set of cutting blades. The ram member's surface has a plurality of surface portions, each sized to fit into one of the splitter box's first section, to further contact the log with the second set of cutting blades, splitting the log into at least four pieces.

Abstract: The invention is a log segment splitting system that comprises a splitter box member, having top, bottom and sidewalls, an open entrance end and an open discharge end. The splitter box member contains a first set of cutting blades secured adjacent to the open entrance end thereof, which divides the open entrance end into at least two, first sections. The splitter box member contains a second set of cutting blades secured adjacent to the first set of cutting blades and opposite the open entrance end thereof. The second set of cutting blades further divides each splitter box member first section into at least two, second sections. A ram assembly includes a force applying surface, moveable toward the open entrance end of the splitter box member, to contact a log segment there between with the first set of cutting blades.
