I only have 12 acres so not really gonna make anything having it logged not a lot of log size lumber of choice species. Where I want to plot though has at least a dozen big trees say 15 to 25 inches across.
I am thinking the only way is either backhoe or cut the trees and plant around as best as I can till they rot.
What kind of trees are they? Timber is not just about lumber. If they are that big and a hardwod species they're getting good money for firewood these days.
