I have considered talking to some of the local logging companies and see what they will offer me because I have a ton of white and red oak laying on the ground - some that are 30" plus trees. The contract was for $94K worth of timer and I was told they left most of it laying after the argument...
But yeah, I am in the heart of Amish country, they drive right past my house every day in their wagons lol. They do work cheap. They just did a ton of work on my sister's new place and came in over 2/3 cheaper than any other bidders and way over-built, the quality was top notch!
You’d be pleasantly surprised at what they can do. I have done projects with them for 25 years.
I bet theres a group of Amishmen that will come through your property and do the same thing as a mechanized timber company for 1\2 the price.
