Well, in the spirit of island logging, here I hope to put up some pictures and words showing how a small logging outfit gets on here on the British Isles, UK. In the south east of England, zillions of people live here, small roads, mostly small privately owned woodlands dotted about, often heavy clay where historically farming was difficult so was left or abandoned to the trees.
This is our log yard where we billet up timber for drying, then re-saw it for sale as firewood to the local towns, villages. 1st picture is 2008 zero-tail Case loader (sumitomo 8t), service truck 2007 Land Rover 130, and a forest tractor Valtra 6550 with Botex roof mount loader, which is made here in the UK up in Dalbeatie, Scotland.
