my wood pile in New Zealand
View attachment 306750View attachment 306751
hi guys,
ive been reading this forum for a while, and thought i would contribute.
This is my wood pile so far. Ive just moved onto a block of land with alot of tree's. Lots of them are covering in my future house site and orchard so im going thru and clear felling those areas. The rest are in desperate need of a thin, so im taking out all the smaller stuff and draggin it out with my tractor and a wire rope.
I have made this stack, will split it all and look at selling next winter.
Since reading this forum i have learned heaps. The main thing Ive picked up is forestry tractor winches/ skidding winches. I never knew these existed, and solve the exact problem im having. I have looked high and low in New zealand for one, and only found one place that imports and sell them. The smallest one retails at $8,900NZD, with is about $7,100USD. how does this compare to your prices? im guessing its around double what you guys would pay. its on the wish list. I see how much cash i get from this years firewood, and if it works out like i hope, then i might be in for a brand new winch. anyway, dreams are free.
