timber value

[Stephen Blair]

how much is a half load of Larch worth roadside, pretty big trees, average about 24inch at the base. My customer was told by a forester that that is the amount of saleable timber. Next question is how much would the haulage be on it?

Pulp or saw logs ?

[Stephen Blair]

saw logs and some pallet

you could have got double that for fire wood we were getting £8 a ton in 1982

I will try and find a price tomorrow mate, but i can tell you it is £45-50/m3 delivered in here from euroforest, and Pryor and ricket want about £65.....thats Jap Larch BTW. Thing is i would have said the quality is a little higher where you are as it is probably slower grown too.

i no it was crap but the client was gettin that cheque so i wernt that bothered about lookin for a better price and ad to get the site clear

the point is, i can either fell and leave it for a timber wagon or i can knock the value off my quote that the forester told him and just keep it for firewood, i think thats what i will do, there are some big ones and they arent the straightest and its about 800yds from my yard. thanks guys, its basically worth he haw then lol

of course u will need a felling license if u fellin over 5 tons or maybe not......LOL
