how many dumpy bags out of a 25tonne load

Softwood. In rough sticks for firewood.

The last lot of WRC we had for milling was not much more at £750 + Vat for a lorry full.

0.5 tonne per m3 ish plus 10% extra so 55 bags should do you.....

 

Whats it for????

Just did some calcs using the picture & items in it & the real items & marks on the ground & the total volume of the load bay is 39.2m3 (2m high x 2.8m wide & 7m long). Less a bit for the gaps between each stack on the lorry & 30m3 seems a fair guestimate.

 

In forestry if you do a stack measure the air gaps are alot bigger than you think. All stack measures we do are worked out at total stack area less 40 to 60% for air gaps depending on how straight the timber is. You have said that you got 37 bags @1m3 of firewood from your 18 tonner load. We work on about 2m3 of firewood logs per tonne of timber so that would work out about right. therefore 18 tonne = approx 18 m3 timber = 37m3 firewood logs. I don't think you would get anywhere near 30m3(solid) of timber on that lorry. Maybe someone will be able to tell me if I am right or wrong but thats how I would work it out.
