Good looking wood. I got 60,000lbs of rock maple delivered early winter. Will be bucking it up as soon as the snow goes and before the blackflies invade.

Nice load. Looks like the 455 Rancher is in for a workout.
Would you be able to rent a bigger 65 or 70cc saw for a day? That would really put a dent in the log pile and save some run time on the 455. Just a thought.
Cheers.

That is a fine load of logs and it would be fun to tackle the job of cutting. However, I don't see anything there that would require a 20" bar.

I paid $800. There are about 4 logs in there that need the attention of the 20 in bar.Yes they could be done w the 16 thats on there now. Just easier to put on the 20 and make a single cut.No splitting yet. I block it all then,haul and split it up.By the end of the week I hope to have it all done,if the weather cooperates with me.

I sometimes think that getting a load of wood like this would be a dream . . . dropped off right to my door . . . neat stack . . . no dealing with dropping the tree wrong, hanging a tree hung up, branches, stumbling through the undergrowth, etc. . . . but then I realize that right now I'm just too cheap to buy a load of wood . . . some day though. Good looking truck load of wood.
How does one acquire a delivery load of logs such as this? Is it regional only or is this sort of thing available all over?

Around here it's pretty easy . . . just get in touch with a wood cutter or truck operator that hauls for the woodcutters . . . find out the price and make the arrangements.

I think the normal size of a load is regional, but log length is available all over. I got a grapple load last month from Marquis Tree service in Burlington/Billerica -

For delivery in Worcester I might try Godin Land Clearing from Spencer?

or just call a bunch of tree services and ask. I don't know how much asian longhorn beetle complicates things in Worcester...

Quite a few guys on here who get log loads, myself included.
Like a lot of others, the first loads of c/s/d stuff I got (almost 5 years ago) was, shall we say,....less than optimal. Lesson learned, so log loads here we come. Half the price, but you gotta' do the work.
Deere10, if you get 12 cord out of that, sweet deal. Heck, even if you only get 10, it's still pretty good.
Some pics of your progress would be nice. ;-)
I also LOVE that you're planning ahead, and have the resources to do it.

Good sized for sure but don't think it would pose a problem. Yes, you have to cut a little different but it can be done.
Hi my name is Kyle and I'm new to this site. I was wondering if anybody could tell me how I could get a grapple load delivered to my house in the New Bedford Mass area. If anybody knows somebody I can contact please let me know. My father and I have a firewood business and we're looking for someone to supply us with logs.

Nice load of logs deere. I think the general consensus is it should be all c/s/s by 1-6-12! Looking foward to pics.

Im a forester and know how and who to contact to get wood delivered, but my question is how did you unload it? Do you have a bobcat with forks or your own loader, trackhoe?

Welcome to the forum Kyle. Do you have any sawmills in your area? That would be the first place I'd check. Or if you happen to see a log truck at a gas station fueling up, stop and ask right then.

Looks to me that there is a knucle boom loader in center of trailer. Not sure, little hard to tell from that angle.
