Keeping my fingers crossed :)

One of my new plowing customers has a logger on her property. She and I were talking today and I mentioned that I burn wood and I would be happy to clean up the tops. She said she would mention it to the logger and that as far as she is concerned it's ok for me to get them. Now her property is less than a 1/4 mile from my house
Soooo, I will be checking in on the logger either in the morning or Monday morning and see what there intentions are.
Wish me luck,
dave

Make sure you ask about any "hazard" or cull trees. Most loggers don't want to deal with them as the just cost them money. You could go in before they do and remove any trees that they don't want but are in their way to log.

Sounds like a win-win for both you and the owner. Keep us posted on what you haul out of there.

good luck dave.hope ya get it. maybe a free plow job for the landowner would ice the cake.
my neighbor just across the street just told me there would be people in and out of his place the next couple of weeks. seems he has put out a contract on his timber and loggers will be bidding on it. can you see the drool?

Hey, cool beans, especially if they leave their roads in decent shape for access.

Well I talked to the logger yesterday and he said he would make sure I had some wood. He's going to take some firewood but not a lot and since it's a tight spot and I do the plowing he would be sure and drag me down some tops! Now if the weather would just cooperate. Too cold to spend much time outside anyway.

Score!

Don't forget to update regularly with pics!

 

[dave_dj1]

OK, a little update. I went to talk to the lady the other day and she wanted to barter the logs for plowing which normally I wouldn't have a problem with doing. She kind of caught me off guard with that and I told her as luck would have it I have more than I can handle from my buddies place. In fact he just called me to tell me we will be taking down a few more trees tomorrow
If you've been following my other thread titled "a couple loads today" you will see that I have brought home about 9 dump trailer loads and two pickup loads as well as got two loads for my brother.
I'm in high cotton now!

Offering up a prayer for you to have good luck, and that you return without harm or injury. Peace be with you...

An update, I spoke with the lady and the logger today. There is a fair amount of "logs" on the landing that need cleaning up/ Logger says to take it all, she is fine with that and that I pay her the going rate of 10.00 per cord. Done deal, got the processor and tractor down there today and cut/split a dump trailer load. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to get a few logs skidded down to the processor and have them ready when my brother snows up to help, I share my finds with him. We use my equipment and let him take a load home for every load I get. It's so much easier with two people and sometimes he brings his girlfriend, she's a great worker!
If I can remember I'll take some pics tomorrow. I do have to leave at noon so I may not have time.
Thanks for the well wishes
dave

mainewoods, did he post a pic of the girlfriend? I must have missed it. dave_dj1, can you repost it? Or of the wood if you don't have the gf pics.

 

[mainewoods]

No pics of his buddy's girlfriend, just the sweet wood deal.

 

[mainewoods]

But I think this is the lady with the wood lot.

 

[cantoo]

I'd be paying for the wood.

 

[dave_dj1]

OK, time for an update, WITH PICS! LOL
I agreed to pay her for the wood and take it off my plow bill, she suggested that.
I hired a log truck with picker to organize the pile, it was a mess and unfortunately I didn't get any before pics.
It was a wise decision as now it's easy to buck and split. I have already taken three dump trailer loads and two pick up loads before the pictures were taken and before it was stacked.
Nice amount of red oak, white oak, some hard maple, ash and hickory. All in all a great score I think all things considered.




PS, no pics of said girlfriend!
