Car-Powered Log Splitter
![]() |
This new-style log splitter is amazingly simple. Just drive onto the wheel rollers, shift the car or truck into low and you're ready to go. "Unlike wheel mounted splitters, it doesn't put any strain or stress on the car or truck rear end," explains Richard Barger, general manager. "For a vehicle with positraction rear end, we have a simple coaster roller for the opposite rear wheel to ride on.
In addition to splitting logs, the Log-Aug can be used as a portable
power unit. Just remove the cone shaped splitting wedge and install a belt pulley on the 11 in. stub shaft. "Works great for powering a grain elevator or a standby generator," says Barger.
The Log-Aug weighs 94 lbs, and has a 7:1 drive ratio. It measures 22 in. high, 20 in. wide, and 26 in. long. The internal drive uses No. 4 chain. Heat-treated tip on the spiral splitting cone is easily removed for sharpening.
Sells for $390.
