REF what the price of hard wood cord now thanks

[County 764]

just been quoted today £40 + vat roadside mixed beech birch 4" 14" thats up £5 on the last stuff I got in from euroforest just before christmas.

 

Did you buy it at that? Prices seem to be creeping up all over and its been a warm, wet winter. Still not had to pay that price roadside.

I was at a place on Saturday that sells a half cube bag of imported kiln dried logs for £90! And they sell it no problem.

 

Mole Valley Farmers 1.2cuM dumpy £186.22! Shave off! That's top dollar!!

Sadly I did although I have paid £52 delivered for other stuff but only when i get really desperate. looking to try and get a decent summer clearing up windblow on the estate plenty of oaks been blown in the last year. I did a test weigh with bakers mesh bags 90x90 on the beech came in at 483kg which was higher than I was hoping for.

Hi All,

 

I am cutting down a 100% Ash hedge, roughly 6" to 24" and pretty straight so mostly good for log processor? I am keeping all the limbs for my own logs, but I am looking for ballpark figures on what I should be asking for the trunks/big limbs, preferably collected per cu m.

 

Thanks in advance.

[sandspider]

Where in the country are you? And how much is there in total? Any pics?

[chazzerb]

I would say there is 1 artic load (maybe more), but will probably be collected with tractor & grain trailer. im in west devon. i will take some pics later. Thanks.
