Advice please - timber extraction

[TMJ]

I have got a few acres of woodland that i would like to take some oak from next year to mill myself for various projects. I can sort out a loader and trailer to get it from the site (a farmer relative) but i need someone to fell and get it to the edge of the wood first. Typically it is on a slope - some quite flat but some steep. What should i be asking for ?What would someone able to do this be asking me? What sort of prices am i looking at? And can anyone recommend someone in Herefordshire? Tom

hi tmj, have you had any luck with extracting your oak this year? if your still looking(or if you want any pulling out in the future) i could look at it and give you a price.

Unlikely to need it out this year- also access is across two fields now planted so was thinking after harvest next year/ reconsidering current access situation. Are you near and what sort of kit had you got in mind? Can PM me ...
