    Well, I have not posted in a while due to some issues in my life, but hopefully things will get better from here on. I had 42 acres of my farm select cut last winter, as part of my contract, loggers had to leave me with a large supply of firewood on the landing. This is what it looks like on the landing, with 4 or five other smaller piles scattered around property. I think I will have plenty for next few years, and even enough to sale a little to help pay for new toys. Lol... Tell me what you think......

    That's a nice pile of logs. Did you hire a forester? I had one out to walk the property. I signed a contract and he hasn't been back since. Nothing can happen until he marks the trees. It's been very frustrating.

    Sweet! That will save you a ton of work. Still, lots to do there but you will appreciate it.

    Yikes, looks like a 20+ year plan for me. There should be no "devil's workshop" in your immediate future! :BrianK: (is this the Solomon emoticon? :))

    Yep, kinda of sorta. I have a couple buddies that are foresters and they went through with me. We marked trees and selected sizes, call it a Wildlife cutting.

    You are definitely going to need a bigger saw than the ms241cm. Better send it to me for safe keeping. Could get crushed in that pile or something; -)

    Those piles will take a few years to cut up! Unless you're like Ashwatcher and have time for firewood and golf:whistle::wacky:
    And nothing else!:rofl: :lol:

    How soon will you be able to make the biggest dent in all that? Them log lengths could start turning sour by next year- in no way an immediate issue, but you probably don't want any eventual punkiness, right?

    So come on, what's your plan of attack? Tell! Tell!
