Backhoe log splitter

Saw this as being a great way to chop up next years wood. Seems like a great way to teach someone how to operate a backhoe while getting some work done out of it as well.

Back hoe log splitter

I wouldn't do this even with an exsperenced backhoe operator, much less a novice who isn't comfortable with the controls. I've almost been hit more than once working with an exsperenced operator. I would get a log splitter it would be safer and you wouldn't have to climb out and set up logs or have someone do it for you.

That's awesome! From the size of the bucket I would say it's a trackhoe. Boys playing in the big sandbox.

I had heard of people just using the bucket as is to split firewood. I tried it...miserable failure. I thought attaching a wedge to an outrigger might work...nope! the wood lifted that 35,000lbs like it was nothing, lol!
