We have been looking into having the timber on our property harvested and had a few questions for any of you who might have already done it.
The quotes we have received specified that trees larger than 14" in diameter would be harvested. One company would pay us $3,500 less if we required them to use animals to pull the timber out of the woods.
1. What are your opinions on a tractor/skidder versus using animals? Is the $3,500 well spent on animals?
2. What should we expect them to do with the tree tops, the gentlemen we talked to said they leave them in the woods where they cut them.
3. What stipulations or rights do we have as far as them building a road to get to the farther corners of the property? Do they stone it, restore it and seed it after they are done?
4. They will also be using our driveway as part of the haul road, will they maintain it, will they build it up if it falls apart?
5. Is there anything else I need to know before we commit to someone. We value your guys knowledge.
