    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

    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

    Scottish Native Woods did this small video for postcode lottery in Balmerino, Fife a few weeks ago, its only meant a small insight for public to see where their money is getting spent. the wood is on the shoreline of the tay estruary, a few miles from Dundee on the opposite of the water. The paths are all getting relaid and the wood getting thinned out. The wood is getting cut to 3m lengths and forwardered out by the Alstor for firewood processing. Stan the man felled the tree, his second job was to cut the stump down a tad lower lol
