Dan, Are they going to yard the felled trees to the skid road or go in and pull them out with a skidder? Clearcut or selective cutting? Are the trucks coming in with self loaders? Keep count on the loads that leave your place. Find out what the criteria for acceptable saw logs is and make sure that they dont take culls out in the truck which the mills use anyway but just dont pay the seller for. The longer the log the more valuable. Use the culls for firewood. Who is going to be responsible for cleaning up the logging debris and burning the piles? What is acceptable as a cleanup? Be real careful because the small operations are not called Gypo Loggers for nothing. No matter what they tell you, the last load that leaves the property is NOT traditionally the truckers. I got stuck on that the first time I ever had one come work for me. LOL These are just a few of the things to look out for. I am sure the others will think of a lot of things too.
