One for the hive mind - just about to start extracting a load of ash, just wondering what sort of price I should be charging per ㎥ stacked trackside? 
 

appreciate any advice, criticism, abuse!

Looking to sale roadside stacked processor grade ash just outside Bristol in m³ as I have no way of weighing the timber. The buyer would also be hauling the wood to their yard with a 12 mile round trip at around £55 a m³ I'll update if the price is accepted.

£55 haulage seems extremely high assuming you mean by the lorry load. I would have guessed £10-15 unless I'm missing something.

Apologies on the confusion, £55 for the timber itself, haulage is embedded in the diminished price. The customer would be hauling the wood to their own yard with their Farma T9. 

 

Also, Ive been using a conversion factor of 0.8 for Tn to m³ pricing, as I've read up here that roughly 800Kg of ash equates to about a m³. Does that sound right to the more experienced folks out there? Cheers!

Correct - Green density Vol/Wt Ratio m3/tonne Ash 1.28 (ref. Forestry Commission Mensuration Handbook) 1m3 therefore 0.781 tonne.
