Getting started looking for parts. New or used . Want to build very simple processor to pull logs to level , cut and drop into splitter. Don't know who makes saw hydraulics. Have saw Oregon bars and chains but not hydraulic motors for buck saw.

Lots of hydraulic winches out there, Mile marker being the easiest to find, then bradens and Tulsa, all former/ current military use I think Ramsey makes a hydraulic winch too.  Then you got pull master, and assorted industrial type stuff.

As far as the slasher saw??? not familiar with any of em, maybe look up processer/feller buncher parts?  Deere/Timberjack, tigercat, Timbco, Prentice? should all have some sort of hot saw bar and motor that would work, Taint gonna be cheap though...

Or take a look at prince or lyon hydraulics, they might have a motor that turns fast enough for ya, they will have valve, pumps, rams and everything else hydraulic related.

Seen a guy run the saw straight off the crank pulley of a buick v6 to a jack shaft ot gear it up some, the motor was also running the hydros, he just used a beat up stihl bar and some .404 chain, never sharpened the *DanG thing just bought a new one once a year,  used a conveyor to move logs up to a stop (big heavy chain type thing).

While your considering all of this, remember you can buy a brand new firewood processor for around $12k comes with a warranty too...
