I’m new to the site and was impressed by the various articles posted in the various forums. I really liked the responses members have given to other less knowledgeable individuals such as myself.
I live outside the town of Grants Pass, Oregon.
Our primary timber is Douglas (Doug) fir, found more inland, Coastal Red-wood and Cedars.
We recently logged a portion of our 5ac property and harvested 16 loads of Doug for fire suppression and thinning.
Having said this, I have always been an avid outdoorsman (hunting and fishing primarily). I
Worked for a large utility in Nevada and my wife and I retired to our present location.
I started a tractor service helping locals doing mowing, post holes, bucket work; purchased a smaller excavator, got my contractor license and installed septic fields.
So now at 76, I’m thinking of slowing down a bit and would like your opinion.
I’ve always have been mechanically minded and have worked on many of small engines including chainsaws. My question to you is what do you think of me starting a small business sticking primarily with Husquvarna and Stihl saws, buying up part saws to refurbish and selling them. I believe there is a market. Is there any drawbacks I should be thoughtful of?
I don’t know, Your response appreciated!
