bucking for scale

tis all about thst small end diameter, length is important for making a load fit on the truck, just remember trees taper, and the mill only measures the little end

Do you buy your timber standing or pay the landowner as you cut on shares? I'm a east coast gypo and I get into a lot of backyard jobs, everything in my area is purchased standing. it's definitely hard to figure out what to offer somebody on those smaller tracts vs a more conventional logging job with easy truck and equipment access

[@northmanlogging2769]

as rule I work on percentage, mills write the checks, so there is rarely any issues, purchased standing is a good way for one side of the other to lose money, or feel like they've lost money, but you also are sort of bound to what is common in your area, the smaller projects you have to account for moving equipment. 1000's of ways to make a deal lol, Personally I like having the accountability of the mills writing the checks, if I lose money on a job its on me, if the LO doesn't like what they are getting paid, then they can cut me off (which has happened, but not often, generally folks want me to cut more then originally agreed on)

Unless you get a camp run price, wherefore you’d cut that 24’ log to keep your average up(SPI)

[@northmanlogging2769]

yeah... this is more for the gyppos out there that are always calling and whining about only getting 2500bf on a truck... (some hyperbole but you get the idea) I generally load up to weight (or a wee over...) so if it don't match their expectations ...?
