How much Arb "waste" can you process in a day?

I am only talking for myself but we used to pay £35-£40 a tonne for processor sized ash or beech. We used to give a drink for a lorry load of arb waste and sometimes used to regret taking it in. Once the nice pieces of limb are cut into handleable sizes ie 2ft long they are a nightmare to process. most of it is full of crowns and knots. The beauty of cord is its grown in forrests and nice and straight with few branches. the diffence in time between turning arb waste into logs and cord is huge. Notice I said we used to because we hardly do logs anymore the price of kit fuel and material is now so high compared to what people are prepared to pay its not worth doing round our way. We have concentrated now on large production of Kindling.

Bit of a revival,
How much wood could one man reasonably expect to fell, split, load and stack in a day, by hand.
At the minute I'm in alder and sycamore around 12 inch Dbh, few branches.
But I also process arb waste mainly for my own use.

I'm guessing 3 stacked cube a day?

Cutting, splitting on a horizontal splitter and filling cages 2 blokes do 10 cube a day, 8inch logs. 1 bloke 6/7 cube
