Abstract

A mounting arrangement for a tractor supported log splitter is disclosed to accommodate reorientation of the splitter with respect to the tractor hitch. The mounting arrangement includes a hitch adapter which supports a female socket, and a male plug connected to the log splitter which is adapted to be received within the female socket. Relative angular repositioning of the log splitter is provided by relative movement of the male plug within the female socket, with a locking mechanism provided so that the log splitter may be releasably locked in the selected position. In this way, the log splitter may be used in a conventional fashion by positioning logs atop its cutting table, or it may be rotated along a line generally parallel to the line of cutting action of the splitter so that logs may be split while they are on the ground without having to lift them onto the splitter cutting table.
