20's and 30's and I know a couple brother crews in their 40's. But your probably right with your avarage. It just costs so much to enter this business, just like farming. Most new entrants into farming are dutch immigrants around here, they get so many government subsidies that your son will never see.

Loggers Are Often Families. Here, older brother, Jim Jr. (age 32) bucks aspen sawlogs and pulpwood while his younger brother John (mid-twenties) is off picking up wood with the forwarder. Dad, Jim Sr. does the trucking. Johnson aspen timber harvest; 7/05.

Brilliant link OLD_JD.

I particularly like the Menzi Muck steep terrain harvester....similar principle to an Austrian Kaiser?? I used to repair.

Another good one is the innovative Konrad from Austria, ideal for poor traction situations.

THanks for that Tim
