    Abstract: A machine for processing fallen trees into split logs. A mobile frame having wheels mounted thereto includes a wench having an extendable cable removably attachable to the fallen tree. The cable extends through a chute to enable the fallen trees to be pulled therethrough. A hydraulically driven saw pivotally mounted at the end of the chute is operable to cut off portions of the fallen tree. The cut-off portion rests atop a ramp which has an inclined surface allowing the cut-off portion to be rolled into a splitter. The splitter includes a hydraulically operated ram slidably mounted in a secondary frame mounted atop the main frame of the machine. The ram is moveable towards a pair of intersecting stationary cutting blades for splitting the cut-off portion of the tree into split logs.
