Sitka spruce

[Excels1or]

Just started felling 12 large Sitka spruce from a private woodland. Is it worth hiring a skid to drag the timber roadside for a timber merchant? Also, what length of is the timber typically cut to?

What do you call large trees ? 80/90/100 ft tall 600,700,800mm DBH, there is more to it than just cutting it all to a said length, best thing to do is find a buyer and cut to there spec ? but i would think that 12 trees is hardly  worth the effort for a timber merchant not with out they are of a very good size and quality, Where you located ?
