As I mentioned in my recent Intro, planning to buy a HM126 next month.
I have several basic questions on downed logs regarding stacking & prep work.
No knowing a lot about tree species, the guys that dropped these said they are referred to as either
Rock oak or Chestnut Oak. Most are 12-16” with a few going 22-26”.
I live in Md. above Frederick. They are mostly Acorn bearing and grow in very Rocky/Mountainous terrain.
I am moving 20+ trees that were dropped 1-year ago (Oct-2018)
1) Once I get them staged where my Mill will be, should I still “Seal” the ends?
Should I try to elevate them off of the ground after they have been on the ground a year now?
2) I have a dozen more that were dropped 1-week ago. From what I’ve read, these should be up off the ground and sealed ASAP. Hoping to get these milled and stickered before the new year.
Appreciate any guidance.
