[QUOTE="pass-thru, post: 4134610, member: 2382"] Another reason a diameter cut might not be desirable, is that different species peak out at different diameters. I you are cutting poplar at 16", you are throwing away a lot of cash. They grow fast and not too far into the future they would be worth a lot more. A lot of pine on the other hand, may never reach 16"....virginia pine, scrub pine, crowded pine, etc. When I mark trees to cut on our property, I mark injured/sick, crooked and undesirable species first, regardless of value. Then I look to what goals I'm trying to accomplish. In my part of the country loggers cut a lot of pulp, and the last ones we used had a chipper. So nothing goes to waste, even the branhes and laps are chipped, leaves and all. If there is no pulp market in your area, a timber cut is a lot trickier to plan, as nobody is going to put a lot of work into something for no pay. [/QUOTE]
