Looks like the kind of timber you see being cut and you've been looking at it for years and makes you get aggravated! Nice stuff man

lol, yea i get out bid every once in a while....it sucs but its part of it. would you believe that white oak tract dad cut 27 years prior? its good oak ground.

i can sell any poplar that size for export.......a few bumps don't seem to hurt it if its big.........even a small hole don't hurt it any more.

We have a really good relationship with the grade mill we sell to. They actually buy the whole tree minus pulp from us. We run 2 crews one cuts the pulp job and I cut all the log timber jobs with one other guy. We do ten loads of logs a week and the mill never says to slow down it's nice.

you sure like to back bar alot...........you sure you ain't from the south?

 

[treeslayer2003]

i sell 90% of my hard wood to a grade buyer..........saw logs go to small mills. pulpwood is slow starvation, i only mess with it if i have to on a clearcut.

I grew up cutting down and that's the way that works good for me. I do allot of back cutting and chasing but in the real big stuff that's the style I like to cut....like you see on the video. I like low stumps and no fiber pull.

 

[coltont]

Grapple skidder on pulp and the cable skidder that I run on the log jobs.

 

[RandyMac]

I saw a fiber puller, maybe two

 

[coltont]

It's likely. But nothing to get concerned about.

It's the dirty prick in the center that'll get ya . Gotta gut em out
