artic load = m3 ?

hi all.how many cubic metres of thrown logs would you get from a 25 ton load of wet corded beech. thanks

[rowan lee]

Seen a thread like this before - is it roughly 2 loose cubes logs per ton?

in my experience 50cm3 from a 26 ton load green beech... bear in mind that usually you wont get a full lorry load of beech as it'd be over weight.

My pal reckoned a truck and drag as a box would work out as 80m3, then loose 20% for air gaps,etc would leave you with 64m3. Don't know how accurate this is though.

cant see that.. i get 27cm3 after air gaps on my artic trailer... at most they will only get as 3rd as much on with a lory and drag.. nwhen i buy my wood they take 45% off for air gaps..

1 tonne of beech usually produces me 1.5 split cubic M. Summertime felled wood can change that though.

i.e cm3 instead of m3.

there is one way to find out, get your chainsaw and axe out, cut and spit your load and see what you get, thats exactly what i am doing at the mo, i have weighed 4 cube that i did and they came to 1880 kg(470kg each) so if i got the correct weight on the load that would equate to 55 bags, this is birch and i know that is not as dense as some other hard woods.

is a truck and drag a open sided artic trailer with metal posts . and 4 timber holding sections?
