debarking is not necessary, the pine will not stain untill temperature is over 70 for full day night cycle. when it gets really warm pine can blue stain very quickly, like 1 or 2 days. the peas are the favorite payment method mentioned at the forestry forum for sawmill helpers. haha. on a day of cutting without problems, i can cut over 900 alone. with help my best was 4000 bd ft ina day. usual days cut with help is in the 1500- 2500 range, though there are many variables.
