AND WHAT ? £30 a cube or tonne is very very cheap to hardwood delivered in we currently getting £32.50 for softwood chip roadside.!

 

 

 

What's the difference on a MTR cube & a tonne of same said birch ?

 

 

 

About 2m cubed (loose) to the ton.

Only paying the equivalent of £25 a cube delivered in here in the north east. That's for ash!

ChasW originally says 30 cube from a clear fell, fresh felled birch is 1.07 cube per tonne stacked in the round, your cube is cut n split logs which 50% of is fresh air so your timber is costing £50 tonne delivered in which you then cut n split which is where you get your £25 cube delivered big difference between a cube of timber stacked at roadside in lengths in a forest to a cube of 10" split logs either in my yard or yours.

Absolutely, was just referencing costs to us 'log men' so we know what to charge/what we need to be paying to get the right percentage of profit.

 

£50 cube delivered, in the round is perfectly reasonable therefore.

I paid £56 per tonne for oak and ash delivered in the cord this week, there is of course 20% on top of that. I work on 1.6 to 1.8 cube of split unseasoned logs to the tonne, around 2.35 cube of seasoned hardwood logs to the tonne. How does that sound?
