Hi guys:
I bought an Hydraulic woodmizer and a ford 5600 with the large norse winch and loader from a distressed land speculator for 25k US$ in 1989. His loss, my gain. A couple hundred thousand feet later I have no regrets. My suggestion is to buy what you can afford to be a slave to. The idea with your own woodlands is not volume. Ideally you should be able to add value to a tree with your own hands. Selling of lumber is resource extraction. Selling of finished products can be nurtured, sustained, and profitable.
Safety first,
Curtis
