"Prices for processor size Ash,Beech at roadside Hants,Wilts/Glos.

[cessna]

I will soon be needing to stock up with processor size Ash/Beech. I would very much like to know what sort of prices are being asked/paid for, for processor size green Ash,or Ash/Beech mix, at roadside in Hants,Wilts and Glos areas.

I ask the question as I have not been in the market for any during the last 18 months. Thankyou

You will be looking anywhere from £50-70 a ton delivered at the moment. I know CW were paying £80 a ton for Ash from a local supplier

That's effing nuts.

 

Time for the idiot public to wake up and see the virtues of softwood. £35 a tonne delivered here for semi seasoned stock. Goes through the processor twice as quickly and dries in half the time too.

MC Chip £25/m/t is your bottom end product. As yet processor Larch / Douglas isn't more expensive. That's my "fuel-rod" of choice these days.

 

Hardwood oversize £35/t

Hardwood processor £40-45/t

 

Plus haulage at £10-15/t.

 

Wouldn't pay a penny more myself.

can we look at it another way, what price would you need to charge in order to make it pay, say per 1m cube bag ?
