So far into the dirt that we couldn't find the end of them....
I assume you'll put tread boards down to spread the load on your "pickets"?
You logging hardwood or pine? Are prices decent on hardwood logs?

I'm assuming you are going to use a Dozer to clear a road? I'd test it with that first.

Yeah I'll screw down some 2x12s.

Mostly hardwood. And No. Prices are terrible. Because of a combination of the Trade War and Covid. Hardwood log prices are the worst they've been in 10-15 years. Just awful.
We're basically just thinning out some junk. And clearing some food plots. Wouldn't recommend a high value sale in this market.
On top of that, the oil field mats and board road lumber sucks too.
I'm guessing it will take 3 years to recover. Probably half the hardwood sawmills that I know of are idled or have gone out of business all together.
