This is the third job For this client. She has got nice timber to be cut and this lot has est 60 mbf on a small 10 acre section. Its' a prescription cut leaving some 12" pole wood( pine) and  all hardwoods. I guess I would call it a semi-shelterwood cut. A lot of directional felling and the Pine is good. And yes I have been waiting and wanting to cut this pine for a long time and that time is now here. A real privilege to be wackin and stackin this timber. The pic is two trees, lopped in half, 4 pieces =1,200 bd/ft scaled at landing ,not including pulp..

Some of the nicer Pine I have ever cut.  Adding up nicely. Rain currently but freezing up again tonight.

I know why dogs stick thier head out the car window.

Woodhauler, no they did not. If I had my own truck to load them on a trailer I might do a bit better than what i am getting from a somewhat local mill. Not many truckers around here to load trailer and by the time I pay them to load it's the same from the local mill. i feel it's better to keep a relationship going with the local mill as they have a good fair scale and I will be at this for a while still and having that relationship with them is important. Is Irving paying around $400 for this kind of Pine at the mill?

Didn't like the climb up and down on the Franklin. It was a nice machine though. Will most likely try for a 240 when I find the right one thats not to far away. trucking is a killer to get a machine here. Jacks running good though.

Nice Pine Dave-L, What are the mills down there paying for nice stuff like that?

Peter, #1 and better is paying just around $300 plus @ the mill. Wish it was more, it could be more maybe if I had a truck to load. Adds up quick so I wonder sometime if you are making just as much in good pine vs medioca hardwood. with cost of inputs so high and stumpage for pine like this it's a tough go. The mills haven't changed pine pricing that much in years. With no pulp for that extra check at the end of the job for fuel I am thinking this over always.

Really like seeing the pics of logging! Thanks for posting!This is the stream crossing( one of them). We are pulling 44' pulp logs while making  the skid roads/ staging area for when we start trying to squeeze some grade logs plus the pulp.

  

  

 
We were going to cross on a old train track( cross or not thread but couldn't find it) but they chose this route. Work safe!

we use to put the logs the other way and cross but our DEC here wont let us its puts dirt in the water that fall through the cracks in the logs it getting to be crazy with all the new laws don't hurt the fish but its ok to starve our family  ???

A couple more loads of Balsam Fir. The ice here with that fluff on top is treacherous. Every step is an adventure. Caulks have no bite with the snow.

Nothing to write home about, had to take those pictures to send to another logger who is always busting on me about being in the heated cab cutting.




 
Started hacking away this morning at 0630, got a picture as I was changing a chain.


First drag on this new job. Wish I had flat level ground to cut, the back half of this is about vertical and nasty with ledge rock. 

 
It's 1 mile in from the town turnaround. I plowed this yrs ago with my 440D with 3-4' of snow on the road, hunter had died in a cabin up there. He was a big guy to begin with, and after a week he was a bit bigger, cut a hole in the cabin to get him out, and into the back of a ranger pickup he went.

Oh yeah nice red. About time you get into some nice timber. 👍 Hope there's some hard maple like that too!!!
