The invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery, in particular to a crawler-type self-walking wood crusher which comprises a crawler chassis, a feeding hopper, a discharging port, a crushing device, an engine, a control mechanism and an electric control system. The engine is connected with the crawler chassis and the crushing device through belts, the crawler chassis is fixedly connected with the crushing device and the control mechanism, and the feeding hopper is rotationally connected to the crushing device. The engine is connected with a walking driving device through a belt, the walking driving device is fixedly installed on the front side of a frame, a driving wheel, a thrust wheel and a guide wheel are sequentially installed on the lower side of the frame through a suspension from the front side to the rear side, and a crawler belt is arranged on the outer sides of the driving wheel, the thrust wheel and the guide wheel in a sleeving manner. The wood crusher is provided with the crawler chassis, can walk autonomously, is provided with an automatic overload protection device, can effectively prevent damage caused by overload work of the machine, prolongs the service life of the machine, is provided with the walking driving device arranged in a preposed manner, reduces the mounting height of the feeding hopper, and achieves the effect of saving power during feeding.
