What sort of logs/wood are you likely to be splitting? E.g. diameter, delivered to you in a yard in log form, tree service offcuts of varying diameters, are you processing on various landings or staying put at a yard, etc, etc.
Do you NEED the loader/skid steer for anything else or mainly to support the processor? Could your business be better off in the long run spending some of the money on advertising and on your or a rep's time getting your business known to your market?
How likely is it that you'll be doing less than 200 cord p.a. and also how likely is it you'll be doing much, much more than that, over, say, the next 3-5 years? E.g. how variable and flexible in the production requirements do you need to be and could you be better off achieving that flexibility by hiring/firing labour?
It strikes me the best processing businesses have a system (or options thereof to keep it flexible if need be, and that's not always needed) that best suits their inputs and market expectations, so it's best to figure out those things and buy the processor as part of the most favourable system rather than a be all and end all machinery acquisition, if you get my drift.
