have a search through the forums - been covered a few times already - unless you already have experience and access to machinery be careful not to bite off more than you can chew.

 

If you are new to the game then try to arrange a deal where you have a trial on a small area and see how you and the owner get along and how your working methods pan out in practice. Access is always (in my experience) the biggest issue, getting the timber on the ground is easy, getting it onto the road costs money!
