with a load of chip being 25 tonnes and any bars probably the same even though you could use an 18 tonne 8 wheeler for sawlogs you'll be pushed to make full loads. Maybe settle for one load of logs and the rest to kronospan.

There is only access for an 8 wheeler unfortunately which may also be putting people off

Yes that is a bit limiting, John McDermott (spelling?) and his son are the only ones I know still operate an 8 wheeler in that area, it puts north wales and norfolk out of reach. William Stafford is the area buyer for Euroforest.

 

An afterthought; I think Tom Bitchener's widow may still run Commercial Woodlands Ltd at Bordon. I knew Tom from a long way back and liked him. @ESS was still in the game but not seen him post for a while

Mervin Ellis would take a single load of log and he pays top money the following week of delivery. You would be best having it loaded on a flat trailer rather then sending it on 8 wheeler. I know a haulier with 8 wheeler from Sussex who might be able to help and he will have a flat trailer on the road in new year. 
Chip cut it too 2.8m and bang it to bedmax Andover, Chris King is the buyer top bloke but you will have to arrange haulage.

You could also try Powell forestry he will buy roadside for simple easy movement. All this depends on if there’s a felling license in place. All has to be fc approved.

Just for info, East Bros are definitely still in business, I did a few days labouring for them last year as I only live a couple of miles away from them.

 

Might be worth getting in contact with the Whitelands Project near Petersfield, if nothign else they may be able to point you in the right direction locally.
