Absolutely stunning site. Great trees, nice ground, the slope to the right isn't too bad and the timber is easy to sell. We're doing it for a very competitive rate and both the landowner and myself should do very well out of it.

Marvelous. We would dream abt sites like that. Ended up with wind throw rubbish n ravines the FC wouldn't touch. K

And you're off! 
 
Doesn't look like a desperately easy site to get started with!
 
This was my view today:

This is the easy part, just a bit wet in places. The other two compartments are much steeper with very narrow access tracks.

Starting a bit of a co operative here ?  k

I'm finding the little forwarder is working really well in conjunction with the tractor. It's less efficient on a long drag due to it's limited capacity, but it's incredibly quick within a stand, weaving between trees. Little forwarder and big tractor makes for a good combination, and 80 tonnes a day is quite doable (like in the stand in the photo above).

That’s quiet a claim with that set up! What is the trailer or the valtra 10t ? No offence but I would have to see weight tickets to believe it.
