in my experience an average artic load [26 ton] works out to be around 40 loads once processed.. i charge £80 load for just over a metre.. so £3200.. bit less as there buying in bulk..

Sounds bang on Nick.

Are you talking about cordwood or logs?

[Ross Macneil]

Logs cut and split

I don't think that Nick is to far out then, theres alot of graft processing an artic load of wood.

25T (freshly felled oak or beech) produces about 35 cubic metres seasoned logs. We aim to get £100/cubic metre so would be looking for £3500. This is seasoned mind you, which obviously means it wont be 25T when sold on as it will have been reduced from 45 down to 20% moisture content

takes 2 men 2/3 days to process an artic load chord wood.. 26 tons cost me £1300+vat... £450 to process in wages.. so total each load owes round £45.. not great profit.. and thats without running tractor and processor and small digger loading processor,advertising to sell logs and diesel and my time delivering.. only bonus is i get 3 loads at a time on my truck and rarely go out witout 3 to deliver.. and do min of 10 loads day 7 days week for 3 months up to xmas..
