Would it be possible to build a tree farm using fir trees being cut down by 4 mining wells and will fir saplings work in a bioreactor?

Yes, although it'll be less awesome than the correct MFR setup because you won't be clearing the leaves. And before you say, "I will just build more mining wells!" consider that if you have Minefactory Reloaded, multiple harvesters can be very fast when fed with UE or EU power (particularly at medium voltage in the later case) because of amount of energy delivered to the machine per tick.
So I guess I am saying you can do this, but it's far from optimal and will be a lot of trouble. It will also be difficult to keep the mining wells from digging a huge hole where you're planting, so your replanting solution might also need to returf as well. Turtle power, perhaps?
Maybe it would be possible to add more mining wells to collect the leaves as well and then warded stone blocks to keep the mining wells from destroying the deployers and add 4 more deployers to place down new dirt for the saplings to be planted on. I will probbably use bone meal from my skeleton soul shard to insta grow the tree after each cycle.
And I was talking about the mfr bioreactor which is in an updated version of mfr.

You can do this. Or you can use two MFR harvesters stacked at different heights and spend a fraction of the resources, time, and still probably have it go faster than the mining wells.
When those things get medium voltage EU they they're insanely fast.I wonder if the arcane bore would make a good tree chopper.
Set the dirt 66 away, at 65ya plant the sapling and bonemeal it, then just collect the trunk and wait x number of seconds before repeating the process. Hmm ... Who cares that it'll cause hella flux. That'd be darn cool.

That'd be darn cool.I will probbably just use a full mfr setup because I need the apples for mulch to use in the fermenters, anyone know of a good tutorial for a fast mfr tree farm setup because i already have about 250 eu/t to use.

It will look cool, but it'll be really slow compared to the other solutions discussed here. Still probably faster and easier to keep it running than a Forestry multifarm, though!
Heh, definitely a lot slower.
I wonder if there is a bee that can chop wood for me yet.Maybe a mfr setup for all four types of vannila trees and a outomated bonemeal wheat farm and patato and carrot farm. That would be 9 different types of materials for the bioreactor and would beat an fermenter+still setup.
There aren't any wood chopping bees yet, the best you can have is bees, that produce sawdust or pulp. I wouldn't want any wood products made from trees, where these bees lived close by. They're prone to be full of little holesHeh, definitely a lot slower.
For now. The Forestry saplings may be added soon. According to the SC wiki's Suggested Features page, it is a Priority 7, which means it will likely make it into the mod but it is not currently a priority. I posted over in the SC thread on MCF to see if there's been any progress with this given Sengir's biomass output nerf to vanilla saplings.
yep, I know this. gonna be interesting how it'll work with the 2x2 and 3x3 trees.
Agreed. And personally, I can't wait until it's added. I don't really want to muck about with tree breeding, but at least once Forestry saplings are supported in SC, I could breed once to get my high sappiness saplings and be done with it and just use my SC farm from there.
As an FYI, Etho has already made a tree chopper using an arcane bore.I wonder if the arcane bore would make a good tree chopper.
