A method and apparatus is taught for engaging, positioning, and splitting logs. A wedge section of a skid steer loader coupling device is received in a lip section of a log splitting system coupling device. A body section of the skid steer loader coupling device is urged into a flush position with a body section of a log splitting system coupling device. Leve rs on the skid steer loader coupling device are actuated from a first position to a second positi on so that pin devices coupled to the levers move from a disengaged to an engaged position with respect to apertures in the log splitting system coupling device. Hoses are coupled at a first end o f the log splitting system and at a second end of the skid steer loader. The skid steer loader i s maneuvered proximate a first one of the logs to be engaged from above the first one of the logs. A pushing mechanism is actuated to push a first end of the first one of the logs with a pushing device a predetermined amount so that a second end of the first one of the logs interacts with a cutting device sufficiently to engage the first one of the logs. The skid steer load er is maneuvered to a predetermined location. Finally, said pushing mechanism is actuated until sa id engaged log is split at said predetermined location.
