Pickup load of Ash logs dry weight (roughly 20% moisture) compared to wet weight ( unseasoned Ash)

[cessna]

Out of interest I weighed my empty pickup,on a local  farm weighbridge ,  and again when loaded with 9" seasoned logs (approx 20% moisture). The load of logs weighed 500kgs, what I am  trying to work out is how much that same pickup load  of logs would have weighed if I had loaded it up with freshly cut Ash ,as bought in.

I am only after an approximate figure  so no need for anyone to get too technical or make a meal of it !!!!!!!!

830kg at a guess if the tree is 60%

Assuming fresh ash is 35% mc 615kg

Aprox 100kg per 10% increase in moisture should also allow for the 10% shrinkage in volume from wet to dry.
