Abstract:

A wood splitting attachment for a backhoe includes a guide track mounted on the backhoe main boom and a guide track follower attached to the backhoe secondary boom or dipperstick. The follower engages and follows the guide track as the main boom and secondary boom swing toward each other. A wood splitting wedge on the track is driven through a stick of wood pushed along the track by the dipper-stick.
