I would hire people to help me. I have a helper here and there now. To tell you the truth I'm trying to get out of cutting wood all together. I would rather buy it cut and split. I think it's cheaper overall. I can buy 2 cords for $210. To go to the woods and spend the time cutting,hauling,splitting,and dealing with saws the $210 is very well spent. Once I figure fuel and wear and tear I can make money having someone cut my wood then I can doing it myself. It frees me up to do other jobs. I'm getting oak hauled in right now for $90 a cord. It has been run through a processor and just split with a 4-way. I resplit the wood. I never even have to start my truck. It's hard to do it for that.

That sounds like a pretty good program. I try my best to stay out of the woods for product I intend to sell. So much easier to call the log truck, lay the logs out with the loader, and then buzz through them. I'll have to look into doing business your way as well.
