Tractor mounted log splitter appliance - has spiral cone in frame coupled to tractor three point suspension

摘要

The appliance, for splitting wood with the aid of a spiral cone, is designed to enable large logs and tree-trunks, 60-120 cm long, and up to 100 cm in dia. to be split. The spiral cone (1) is mounted in a frame (2, 6, 8, 10, 12) which can be coupled to the three point suspension of a tractor. On each side of its mounting (5) it has a coaxial splined shaft stump, and this can be coupled to the tractors pivot shaft, by means of a universal-joint shaft. The frame can be an upright plate, with the cone axis (3) running vertically to it, and bearing a stop for the tree trunks (14), extending beyond the cone tip (4) on the same side.
