Logging To Create Thick Cover

Any horse/mile loggers in your area? They'd be more likely to take a small job and their equipment cost are much lower than the big outfits.
 
Thanks for the ideas on small loggers. What about firewood?
Has anyone partnered with someone selling firewood?

It seems, If you can't get a logger to come touch your small job, the highest value would be firewood?
Other ideas ??

348Winchester,

When we've done small patchy cuts, because of that requirement, we would offer the logger a 60/40 split (logger gets 60%) in an attempt to entice a logger to take on the job. However, when we did our big cut (110 acres), we did the standard 50/50.

I'll ask him today but I doubt it. Too much travel cuts into profits and he's nearly retired anyway. He may know someone over that way. The split is determined on the quality of timber and ease of getting it out. It would be either 60/40, 50/50, or 40/60 depending on the quality of timber, how easy it is to get out, road building needed, etc. I'm getting 60 on this current cut but it's extremely easy to get out and high quality. He hasn't had to drag anything more than 150 yards, paved road right there by the loading area, no rock needed, etc.

I have two areas on Brewstertown Rd both have easy access. The smaller of the two is very flat.

Send me his number if that's okay.
 
You could probably also ask regular loggers in your area if they know horse loggers. If it's like my area, alot of em know each other and may be able to give you a name/number.
