First off you'll need contracts with as many local mills as you can get.Are you planning on cutting your own wood to chip or will you be buying it off of other logging outfits?If your cutting your own wood then you'll be a logging crew with a chipper.Which means you'll need all the logging...

Every brand has it's pro's and con's,but every brand with an automatic or powershift will need attention sometime @ 10-12k hrs and usually the engines are around the same hrs too.And of course rubber is a big expense too.(just bought two 30.5x32 almost 8k with tubes and mounting.ouch)IMO these...

Must have been!You'll have to ask him I'm sure he'll remember:laugh:

I went up on Friday with the guys I work with and again on Saturday with the wife and kids.My wife wore a shirt that said"Once you've hugged a logger you'll never go back to trees"Which attracted some attention and alot of free stuff.One of the guys from Woodmizer asked her for a hug but he...

Spruce and fir is cut into logs,studwood and pulp.We're still moving all of our soft wood and prices are still pretty good.The mills I deal with are sticking with their year round suppliers,which is fine by me. My advice is to talk to guys with their own mill contracts and have their own...

I have a chipper and truck with box trailer.I'm about 35 miles south of Augusta.Is it whole tree or tops,why isn't it pulp?

How much land do you have to cut Zackman?Are you planning on doing this to make money or just as a hobby?

I guess things are a little different in Maine than other parts of the country.The only equipment that doesn't sell good is old CTL's and harvesters.Although my neighbor just bought a '96 Timbco.I've never talked to a logger that isn't looking for a newer or better cable skidder.

It is up here!

Theres no alternative to a skidder!Army trucks and tractors won't be able to get out of their own tracks if we get much more snow. I would suggest buying a decent 200 series Timberjack and selling it when your done.

WOW!You know where Cushing is??!! I like doing trades like that myself.

Cushing.It's between Waldoboro and Rockland it's right on the water.

Ha!What the heck is swarpin'? I can't really give you the definition of twitch but,we use it like"hook up the friggin' twitch" or "I'm gonna go cut me a friggin' twitch" or "I need to get the rest of that friggin' wood twitched the frig out"or "that sonofawhore couldn't twitch out enough...

That is a" Maine only"logging term.:cheers: To far away for me!You might find someone local to do it but I think it will be pricey with trucking for the skidder and an hourly rate.Good Luck.

6 cyl. Detroit?6v53 @ 180hp that would have to be a big machine.Are you sure its not a 3 or 4 cyl.

Both machines are 1980 models.Kinda old but I keep them in good working order.The 230 I've had since high school about 16 years,the 380 I bought 7 years ago.

That's what I do for a living and I've got three kids,so I have to cut alot of wood.;) Oak prices are down and the Pine mill I like to use( Irving)is off and on.Firewood is a very good market for me right now.

As much as I can!:chainsawguy: I mostly cut Spruce/Fir,Pine,Hemlock,Hardwoods.More or less in that order. But,I'm on a Pine and Oak lot right now.
