How about an AI for tree ident you upload a picture and in compares it to a database of existing images online of different species. Surely that wouldn't be too hard?

Needs pictures. & how long is a day? Distance too carry trimmings? Trimmings fall on grass or flower borders? When was it last cut? What machines you have/how fast you work.... Im guessing around 2 or 3 days.

Don't Kiln dried logs go back to 20% after storage in uk climate after awhile due to reabsorbing humidity? Also less eco/green than air dried. I'd say the benefit of kiln dried is for the seller, marketing, price bonus, and quicker turnover so less storage space needed, Not much benefit for the buyer compared to buying air died logs. (properly sesoned ones). Unless you store the bought wood in a low humidity eviroment (Say inside ther house) after buying to stop it reabsorbing any moisture.
