Cord wood for sale

[skyhuck]

It looks very dry, I bet you will only get about 20 ton on a very full artic, so its not as dear as it sounds, IMO.

yeah thats true.. stuff i had delivered today was freshly cut this week and load looked nothing like load i had last week that'd been cut months ago..

I'd agree, it looks like it could be sawn up and sold very shortly afterwards - I don't think it's that dear, just sounds it compared to freshly felled.

All your's then huck, when do you want it delivered.

 

take into account haulage, thats about £60 per tonne at least.

 

I'm out.

Cut some and delivered last week.

Most of it is well seasoned.

Most recent felled stuff is in a different stack - didn't want to mix green and seasoned.

I think your missing my point.

 

If it were green the same artic load would weigh 26 or 28 tonne.

 

So the green load would cost £1300 or £1400

 

The dry load would cast £1000

 

So for the same volume of wood you are pay a good bit less, plus it can be sold this winter, not next,

Hi Mark, I've pm'd you about the beech cordwood.....

[chilli]

Question. How does the driver & the timber seller know what weight is on the loaded timber wagon?

Does he have to drive to a weighbridge or is there a device on timber wagons which indicates the load weight?

[Peter]

Some timber wagons have on board weighing, some have a weighing link on the grapple, so you can add all the grapple loads together.

 

As far as I know, the only legal way to sell by weight is to get a ticket from a public weighbridge, as they come under the Weights and Measures Act and can be checked by trading standards etc. I could be wrong about that though.
