Are you going to buy standing timber and fell and extract  to sell on or just harvest for customers Jon ?

[Big J]

Both, ideally. The angle I'll be working is the incredibly tidy site that will be left once we're done. Minimal brash, piled at every 5th or 10th tree, no rutting, minimal scuffing of remaining trees, minimal root damage and minimal soil compaction. I'd pay the same price as someone going in with much larger machines, so why would you chose to put in potentially more damaging machinery? Of course these little Tonka toy forestry machines have their limitations, but there is certainly a niche for them

I have yes! Hoping to line up a reasonable amount of work in Devon, but as it stands, it's all in Southern Scotland at present.

Have you any decent processor Hardwood coming out anywhere in Devon soon with access for 8 wheeler and drag?

[Big J]

Nothing yet. I've had such a lot of work offered up here that I've not seriously looked in Devon yet. With the mini processor, I'm better geared up for softwoods now too. That being said, I'm not precluding the possibility of doing hardwoods.
