Title: truck hauling
Post by: cityncountryguy on January 14, 2015, 09:54:39 AM
Hi, I am wondering if any one can recommend a hauler for one truck load of firewood log length 21` to 22` long in the Greene NY area. Needs to be delivered in same area. Any help be greatly appreciated.
I am new to the forum, and I am keeping my 70 acre woodlot healthy with the advice of a friend who is in the logging business. My main goal is to safely,  keep my trees healthy for the wildlife, and for future selective logging. I think the forum is great, and I am spending hours enjoying reading all the topics.

There are two different loggers working on route 12 south of Greene I saw there skidders there Sunday. You should stop and see them.

Here is a link to a mill near you. Maybe they could suggest someone.

got a Kubota B3200, just skidding out with the Kubota, all  level ground, and most trees averaging only about 10`` to 14`` at base. Black Birch, makes up about 65% the logs, some maple, and just a few beech, couple ash.

I spoke with John, he gave me one name. Hauler out of Port Crane,  Don Snow. The load is only going 1/4 mile down road from me. Snow suggested I see if I can catch him when he is in the area to keep cost down.
Was wondering if there is anyone else. Thanks for the tip
