I never worked in this area, I just have to clear some small basswood that are across the road and I'm in. Took a small walk and it looks like some hard maple,birch,beech,cherry and some basswood.

Where is the picture of it cut, split & stacked?
You have 2 stihl saws wanting to eat, feed them.
A Rino that wants to bust a trail & drag something, turn'm loose.
& a bored hydraulic log splitter looking for something to do.
LOL
IMHO, "get after it" before the bugs come out :)

With the weather in the pic, you'll be in a sweat shirt in minutes & lov'n it.

When I get this done and haul the wood I have cut and split in the woods out. I should have most of the log length cut by Sunday.

Looks like the snow is kind of deep. That will make it a little harder to clean up those trees.
 
Lots of small trees there. I'd thin out a bunch of small ones, leaving a few large, nice ones to grow. I'd leave a mix of species behind. I like working with medium or small trees for firewood, but like to look at big ones in the woods.
 
Doesn't seem that Zap has to cut anything other than gathering up recent blow downs. Nice pics Zap, looks like it was a glorious day up there.

This area has a road that will get me to the south west part of the property up on top of some good size hills that have hard maple and beech.

Will start working clearing the road after the snow is gone and all the wood is stacked.
