Randy is fairly close for a VERY rough idea on timber, depending on the species, how straight, veneer, how many limb free logs, 14+ diameter minimum on the small end around here. I went and looked at timber for a buddy last fall, about 50/50 soft maple and red oak, a little white oak and hickory mixed in. 225 trees, some veneer, most very straight with no low limbs, but not very many over 18-20" diameter. I looked it over before the timber buyer got there and took a tally of the trees. I counted 221 trees in my count, and told him he's probably gonna be around 20-25,000 valuation. The first buyer offered 7900, I told him to tell him to get lost. Had 2 others come look, one gave a bid of 16,000, the other gave a bid of 19,000. The last one called back a week later saying he really wanted it, and would give 23,000 for it. My buddy decided he wanted me to cut it about 50 trees at a time to save on the tax hit he'll take. That's not my deal, but I'll cut it for him. Like I said though, species make a huge difference. Most mills around here will not even take black oak, not even for pallet wood, even if they are straight, nice trees. But, black walnut is always valuable. I cut some last year, one brought $1000 for the one log, the other brought $800 for one log. Those are the ones I like to cut. It's really hard to take a shot in the dark at timber value though without looking at it up close and personal. Seems like pulp wood was going for around 50 to 75 cents A TREE last I heard. Have multiple buyers look at it, they aren't all honest.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
