Artic Bulk trailer, cord or logs?

[Daniël Bos]

Hi all, I've got a nice pile of wood, but nowhere near where I want it. I've also got a mate who's about finished carting sugar beet and he's got plenty of time and a couple of lorries standing idle.

So he's going to move a load or two for me which led me to the question of what would be more efficient: leaving it all as cord (of irregular lengths) or logging it all up?

 

It'll be a 50mile trip.

 

It will be logged any way so the time spent on that does not matter.

 

Cheers, Daniel.

Log it first. You'll get more volume on and it will come out bulker better. Unless they have barn doors which won't matter in that case..

Cheers Nick.

That's what I thought, but then I figured it would also create much more air in a load?

Surely cord neatly loaded would get more on

Air gaps is space wasted IMO

Yes, probably, but neatly loaded is not really an option when loading a bulker with a telehandler.
