I sell about 20 cord a year. I use a JD A as a skidder to drag logs out of a creek bottom pasture. This adds gas to them, but it makes a log pile that is easy to access year round and I have had problems in the past with piles of rounds left in the woods floating off when the creek floods. I then use a homemade firewood processor or a Husky 455/3pt splitter (depending on the log diameter). I estimate that I am about $30 a cord into it by the time I include bar oil, a new chain every year, and sharpening stones. I add an average of $20 per cord in pickup expenses/fuel when delivering. I figure that I am an average of 5 hours per cord total time (including locating downed trees, skidding, maintenace on equipment and delivery) Not incredibly profitable but it does help support the farming habit. About the only thing I do that I can guarantee a profit. Hope this hels.
