I'm sure others out there might know of a better way to cart off logs, but for me I can't seem to go wrong using the standard baler trailer (although towards the end of the night I was all over the place and actually tip a load - is in a video I did but have not got around to editing)
The load you see there gets me around $37300+ [on Hard Mode in seasons] - In fact I did a load before that with me fishing up with 72+ Thousand sold in logs with still more ready to load. I figure I easily have over another 10 Thousand sitting on the ground. That's almost the starter loan. To be fair I did about 5K in missions to start off. By end of day 2 I will have paid loan off. I know many people are into taking out loans ... but this time I wanted to do it differently. Is forcing me to think more about how I intend to go about things.

How I loaded Up:
To load up like so I parked the starting tipper along side the leased baler trailer and started loading logs on the trailer pushing them up against the wall of the tipper.
NOTE* I would on occasion jump out of the loading tractor into the trailer tractor to engage the 'belts' around the logs. With the belts strapped around logs I would dump more logs ontop. Once the logs started to look a little fragile but still just in place ... I would then jump back into the trailer tractor where I would then disengage and the reengage the belt very quickly.
After doing this several times you get a good idea of how long to leave the belts disengaged while the logs slip into place where hopefully you catch them in time to rengage them locking the logs back into place. It's all in my video (yet to edit) [bit of swearing went on as I made a few mistakes. Especially when I finally got it all and ended up tipping the load around a corner ... Grrrrrrr ... which at any rate forced my not to be outdone where I have no set myself a new record.

I think $37300+ for one load is pretty good on hard setting. I am much happier this time around after day one. : ) As for logging itself I am just learning. My intention with the logs on day one is just clearing the land around the farm is all. After I sell the off cuts and the rest of logs still on ground I expect to pay off the starter loan and own whatever it is that I have thus far paid for. Leasing is still my preferred way for now while I keep myself out of debt. If I go into dept it wont be for 300K! That just felt like I was getting no ware doing things in seasons on hard. Just my view for now. It may very well change. At any rate ... It's good to be logging on day one. lol I'll try to leave a few trees about that place. hehe
