Apparatus for harvesting delimbing and cutting trees, into sections includes grapple means and cutter means on a mast which is supported on a boom of a vehicle. The delimbing and cutting into sections is accomplished with a separate frame that may be in the form of a trailer processor attached to the vehicle and positioned so that the mast and boom may be utilized for forcing the tree into engagement with a tree advancing mechanism on the trailer and the cutter means on the mast may be utilized to cut the delimbed tree into sections. The system is also designed so that the hydraulic circuitry for driving the vehicle may be used as the power source for the processor.
