I used to see these things advertised in Popular Mechanics Magazine years ago. Seems like they were attached to the hub on the rear wheel with the truck jacked up. In the picture it looked like the ol' boy was having a great time splittin'. Can't recall seeing him wrapped up in one but sure seems possible.
How would you manhandle a sixty to 75 lb. block of wood that high up- my pto shaft is abou 2 ft. off the ground.

Forty years later and after operating a hydraulic splitter, those screw splitters would be hard on the back and freaking dangerous to boot. Leave it alone!

I would never buy a screw type log splitter. First of all they are dangerous. Second of all if you get a piece with some knots in it, it will not split and stay on the screw. I have spent quite a while in trying to remove the log. I have actually a log stall the tractor. They make hydraulic three point log splitters that attatch to the remotes. You can also pull a trailer one with its own motor behind the tractor for going back in the woods. The advantage of this is that you don't have to run your tractor while splitting. I plan on making my trailer one into a three point hitch to ease moving around in the woods. If you don't have a remote valve you could use a pto pump and a hydraulic cylinder. I hope maybe this gives you some ideas and is just my 2 cents worth. p.s. The screw splitter is slow

You are right on the money, except your ps. Fastest thing I've used to split wood, and that's with the tractor at idle.

I've heard too many bad things about this splitter and have decide to let my wife continue to split by hand. God bless her, I don't want her laid up this time of the year. Pete

Perhaps you already know this, but these type
splitters are extremely dangerous. A few years ago a good friend of mine was using one of these
when he either fell into it or got his clothes caught in it. It went through his stomach and killed him. He managed to pull away from it,ran across the road and died in his neighbors driveway. Just be very careful when operating
this kind of splitter.

I used to sell them about 20 years ago. A company named Log Aug or something close to that manufactured them. You might do a web search to see what become of them.

Pete, I have one, that has been idle for 13 years, don't burn wood anymore. It is mounted on a gear reduction box (out of a combine) on a 3 point hitch. I would sell it.

Just saw one this morning. Called a Bark Buster I believe. A widow lady owns it in Iowa--it's for sale.
