Abstract
The log splitter has a tie rod hydraulic cylinder which connects the beam to the wheeled assembly including the engine and hydraulic pump. The hydraulic cylinder is the only structural connection between the assembly and the beam. The high loads on the cylinder head are transferred to a butt plate on the beam end to which the tie rods are connected. Therefore, the connection of the hydraulic cylinder to the wheeled assembly does not impose high loads on the assembly.
