WANTED: Pine Logs/Trees for Milling
Greetings,
I have some building work to do later this year and need some pine logs for milling. Will need approx 75tons. If anyone has a small plantation or some trees that they would like to part with could you let me know.
Will be either happy to pay for logs/trees outright or come to some sort of exchange arrangement.
Happy to travel, any where in in Victoria or Southern NSW is fine.
Many thanks,
James - 0430 111 431

Spoke with Andrew this afternoon and there's not really enough to justify a load.

after talking to james and being cut short due to the amount of rain and subsequent water damage to the house,just a few more questions.james explained to me that he gets on site,and prefers to cut a semi load of timber.my question is how do you load the truck? 4wd fork lift or do you get a semi with crane?

I usually use a forklift/telehandeler to move the logs about and then to load slings onto a truck. It largely depends on the site - how steep it is and weather or not it's wet and slippery!

Hi Terry,
Thanks for the offer but Capeen is a bit far away to make things economical. I'm always looking but.
Let me know how you go!
Cheers,
James
