    used to own a county 754 skidder.....but the timberjack skidder was far better, not very fast but they could pull......as for the brunett forwarder they were the most popular forest thinnings forwarder n the late 70s/80s...but they were always breaking down, am i sure the rear wheels were driven by chains n the bogies, always snapping.Outreach at Larbert used to be the main dealer up here

    get a hold of the FCA list of members theres a list of softwood contractors. start at A and work ur way thru........i brashed for a few years to a company that had 8 harvesters,i was maybe at 2 or 3 different sites a week , can get a bit boring if u the only 1 brashing but also u get to fell some lovely timber and some hairy crap too LOL

    why do u want TCT chain....they are really for use in frozen and dirty timber......u have to send them away to get sharpened???? and they are dearer

    good question......weight ticket best way........but on a daily basis for example a 3.7 log td 16cm.....u would expect 6 to 7 a tonn.....4.9m.....3 to 4.........3m pulp maybe 25 to the ton, 2m chipwood nearer 45 to the tonn.........if u count all ur lengths daily u can work out approx volume. All i can say is u wont get rich fellin and stacking trees in the wood on a rate, far easier doing a conifer in some1s back garden

    a decent bloke with his own ppe and certs would start on 75-80 per day , where do u get these guys at that rate.....u can go and brash for the harvester and fell the outsiders up here for £120a day miminium As for tonnage a day Andy it will really depend on tree volume and how clean the sticks are, and how flat the site is. If want 7 tonnes a day a man and the trees are only .10 u need to fell cut and stack 77 trees. takes a bit of doing n hairy stika spruce. nice clean ash averaging .25 and u will have it done by lunctime.

    depends on the size of the timber, u dont want to processing large diameter cordwood ie the chalkwood left after all the quality sawlogs have gone to the mill....into firewood.......£45 for 14in td 3metre lengths sounds good
  14. slasherscot
    hard to see 1 acre of thinnings producing much income.....why not thin the whole wood, get a price per ton at roadside from contractor for the firewood

    surely the car should be 4 wheel drive, quadrupled the production for the same costs
