Do you have trees to grow? Logs to saw? A forest to manage? Chainsaws to fix? A sawmill to purchase or maintain? Timber related business to run? Lumber to dry? Trees or plants to identify? A cabin to build? Are you hungry and like FOOD?

Or would you just like to pull up a stump and visit with a friend?
If any of these and a multitude of other topics apply, then The Forestry Forum is the place for you.

Looking to buy a stronger piece of equipment for moving logs and boards around. What type of equipment should i get, a tractor, CTL/ Skid steer, regular backhoe etc. Assuming of course whatever it is will be able to handle a variety of attachments.

I know carvers like it. Are there any other uses? I've got a couple of really nice logs, which are hard to find without woodpecker bore holes in them. Thanks.
