A machine for handling, delimbing and slashing felled trees, including hardwood trees, including a first crane for lifting a tree and inserting it into delimbing apparatus comprising an array of helically bladed cylindrical rotating delimbing augers with their axes disposed at right angles to the travel path of the tree, an array of convex bladed drawing rolls for drawing the tree through the delimbing apparatus, a saw for slashing the tree into predetermined lengths, tiltable tables for supporting the cut logs and removing them from the machine, racks for temporary storage of the cut logs, movable butt plates for predetermining different lengths into which the tree may be cut, and a second crane for handling the cut logs. The said components are mounted on a generally rectangular mobile frame having a raised forwardly extending portion. The augers and drawing rolls are mounted on members disposed on the underside of the forwardly extending portion of the frame, each member being capable of being opened at any time so as to release a tree being held therewithin and to allow it to drop to the ground.
