Forestry is it worth doing?

[Peter]

If I had enough money to set up properly in forestry I would retire now.

Good news now, sold all the softwood that we have to cut at an ok price, it,s going for biomass and saw logs.Still looking for a stroke delimber cash waiting for right machine.

 

 

There's one on eBay and I've still got mine on purpose built base unit for sale also

I'm 99.9% sure the answer is NOPE!

 

Just seem to stumble from one curse to another.

 

If it's not health problems it's breakdowns. If it's not breakdowns it's contracts being cancelled. If not that, it's diesel tanks being stolen. If not that, volume disputes. If not that, someone's sneaked the "little bit of hardwood" that you've cut, told the estate you've cut with photos to prove, now have to explain why you didn't take it all WTF. If not that, the ticket show the wrong species at the wrong price. If not that, your accountant buggers up your vat return. If none of these, it's raining.
