At the end of january i am planing to start improvement on the stand of timber of ours that is 23.5 acers and there is only about 8 acers of trees onit because my uncle clear cut it be fore. So we are going to thin the softwood and hardwood and are cutting all the popular off of it and haul ti with my little 2wd tractor 10hp. And for the big log's ,my cousin i log with is going to haul it out with his tractor and we are going to sell it to a pulpmill in truor because thats what they focus on buying and best of all with christmas coming up in asking for a stilh 17 and hopefuly i wll get it.I would like to hear what you think. 8) 8) 8)
It can be done. Be careful, and enjoy the project. :)
Now, where are the beginning and ending of your sentences? If you use the shift key, caps will happen, and a period (.) will end the sentence. ;D ;D
But I bet you knew that already. :)

I think he not going to make his living as a secretary, like some perfect people here can. Not saying you did. He is just showing his badge of honor like I do now and then and I'm a little older. I'm shocked of his understanding of the real world.

I did a lot of loging and snowplowing with lawn tractors and had fun doing it, until the grandkids got one stuck in the snow and we pulled it out with big tractor. Forgot to take the hyd. tran out of lock, so cost me $800. Now we don't treat them to ruff. Be careful if you get that saw my grandkids didn't get one until 15 yrs.

Worn't nutin rong with dat sentence structure had a beginin and an end with only one typo ???
How are you going to get the wood out with the little 2WD tractor? I suppose a trailer?I would like to take about a 20 acre piece of my land and do the same thing with my wife's tractor and a trailer.Most of my land is not suitable for a 2WD drive anything.I have a big hill to get up into the back wood lot.Going up is fine,coming out with anything on a trailer is scary without a frontend to hold you back.
Will the Stihl be your first saw? my first saw was a bowsaw and I still have the scars to prove it ;D
Age has nothing to do with anything. He has more ambition than any 13 year old I know and I applaud him for that. At 8 I was driving 120 hp farm tractors towing all sorts of farm equipment all over the coutryside. 13 forward gears and I shifted through all of them just like I was driving a truck.... I was real good at it by the time I was old enough to actually drive a truck :)
I ground more than a few gears out of the "farm truck" while learning to drive at 13 on my Bosses dairy/ seed farm. No power steering either, nasty ole truck! It sure was easy when I was 16 though, my truck had power steering AND automatic, that is after I "reconfigured it" into a pickup truck using 3 axes (broke the handles on all), two vise grips and a bunch of screw drivers to rip the body off the rusty Ramcharger my Dad had helped me buy for $400. You should have seen my Mom's eyes when she came home and looked in the garage at all the sheetmetal laying around in various twisted piles. Got a cab from the junk yard, and bolted her together, painted it three weeks later in the same garage. ;D, I love vise grips!

Tire chains on that 2 wd garden tractor are a 'must have' on the greasy soil you find in the woods.

You weren't in Elora On yesterday were you? I found a pair of vise grips lying on the road 8) almost new!!
redneck-be careful out there. Those lawn tractors can flip real fast.
I know that most kids raised on farms learn to drive at a very young age, and I don't have a problem with that, but they need to be taught safety first. I have seen first hand how dangerous kids can be when they start to get overconfident on machinery. I believe that almost 50% of farm accidents involve children.

How much are they paying for the popular in Truro now???
Thanks
wooddhog i am not sure on hoe much they pay but i herd that if you can get a straigt log they'll pay good money.And also i have been using a chainsaw since may 2008 and yesterday i went to the woods with my cousin and i cut about a cord in 2 hours not to bad for my age.I have been able to drive a tractor since the age of 12.
redneck logger, Good for you. Go at it, good too see someone as young as you interested in the out doors. Just remember SAFETY FIRST in everything you do. Always make sure the NEXT move you make is the safe one and you will have much fun out in the woods, learning all the way.

I was cutting mine poles and peeling pulp when I was your age, darn good way to learn what work is all about ;) plan EVERY move you make out there and you will live to be as old as me ;D
