Just an observation, if you have that many trees to move and your time is valuable it might be worth it to hire someone to haul the logs for you.  It will cost you a little up front but you can probably get a lot more logs moved in a much shorter time and have more logs to saw.  Just my two cents.

That is exactly what I am beginning to realize. When I didnt have much sawing to do it was easy enough to go get the logs. Now that I need to get logs AND keep the mill running it is a different story.

> I get all the free logs I can haul and he doesnt have to waste time and fuel to burn them.

I know someone that rents big dumpsters, cuts the trees, puts them in, and hauls them away to the dump. Doesn't even care about saving the wood or giving it away for free. He just wants the lot cleared as fast as the Bobcat can lift them to the dumpster.

That would be a good person to get to know. Having a place to dump the trees for free would save him money, and I dont know of a businessman that doesnt like to make/save money when possible, especially if it doesnt end up costing him money in wasted time.

It all depends on what kind of wood you want though. It might even pay to purchase some of the dumpsters and provide them to him for free. Perhaps working out a deal with the dumpster company would be more fruitful than dealing with the land developer?

Probably.
