What's a rack ?

 

:post: Alarm Bells Ringing!

 

If you don't know what a rack is... God help you.

I'm an arborist never done forestry, best way to learn is do it.

I measured a fifth of the site

 

29 rows

50 trees /row

1450 trees

45% removed

8-10inch dia

0.3 t per tree

 

Haha been there done this: a good way to get measuring into your blood sure.

 

Next question: flat or steep site?

Rack is a route made via thinning felling to extract the timber.

Flat

Will use the MOG to winch down the lines then load the timber trailer with mog hiab and grab

No. Arborists and chainsaw courses consistently Fk up timber jobs. Take it you're not using a harvester then? Are you ready for charity status?!

 

Where is the job? I've got family in Scotland...

Thanks, nope none of these never been thinned before.

The 8-10 inch trees are the smallest ones, there's up to 30in trees mixed in

You'll go bankrupt. Unless the landowner is throwing money at you?

 

Crazy.

 

Sorry for the attitude but I'd like to see you make a buck and do the job properly.

I'm getting paid for the days that the work takes so no need to worry there. Just trying to find out if I recoup something back for the customer

A rack is typically every 7th row removed. Every 5th when sloping, 4th when real steep. Approximately.
