Osage harvesters

Badger:
    This question is primarily for guys who have done a fair amount of harvesting and processing. (I am missing Gary Davis here). If you were to design and build the most perfect mobile unit you could come up with, what would it look like? This would include cutting, hauling, dragging out of the woods, splitting and processing. If you are knowledgeable about machinery and would like to join in please do. 

Badger:
Some of the questions I have? Once you chop down the tree how do you deal with part of the tree you are not using? Do you cut it up?

Anonymoustoo:
I cut yew wood, I use any decent pieces of leftovers to make gaff handles and burn the rest in the shop wood stove. Try to use it all.

Eric Krewson:
Every stick of osage I ever cut I only had a chainsaw, a sledge hammer, wedges and a pick-up truck, I manhandled all the staves and left the top where it was.

Except for the last tree I cut, this time I had the equipment to make the cutting and hauling off the site a breeze.

A dozer pushed this tree over, I go permission to cut it from the city;

Badger:
  Eric, the question was more about what the ideal mobile unit for harvesting might look like. Not so much how we are currently doing it.
