How much per ton for Larch saw logs & bars?

[Chrisy B]

As per title.

 

Been quoted £40/t for bars 8ft lengths and £48 for saw logs. Both delivered.

 

Although only cutting around 10 - 15 miles away from me!

 

Chap quoting was also saying £65 for hardwood!

 

Is he taking the proverbial or what?

Infected or not?

 

Delivery into my yard for beech being cut 100 metres away was the same as long distance. That was £55/m3 delivered - yes by the metre

 

Ref the larch; roadside was £28 for logs >180 top, bars can't recall - on an email and yahoo down

The softwood sounds about right delivered - the time travelling between sites in a wagon doesn't make up that much of the cost.

 

Hardwood, if it's nice size straightish stuff then it's always going to be premium money. £65 delivered is fairly high though, but maybe not by as much as you think. Bet if you don't take it someone else will. Hardwood thinnings price standing is getting stupid though.

What prices have you seen for such Chris?

Have heard of over £20/T standing on nice thinnings - we've not paid that as yet but not been far off on a site or two and still had others prepared to go more.

 

All of those chuntering at roadside prices want to spend a day out in the wood getting it down and out and leaving a tidy site behind them and then see how cheap they're getting it for

 

Typically the best stuff takes the most effort to get the weight with it being smaller trees. Big gnarly stuff tends to cost less to buy standing, quicker to fell and is heavier but not as popular for some strange reason

[Chrisy B]

So your saying the bigger diameter stuff should technically be cheaper to buy roadside?

 

With it being cheaper to buy standing and quicker to cut and weigh more so load fills faster?

 

Most of our firewood is cut by chainsaw and logs splitter so size doesn't matter to an extent.

In theory yes, as all the producers with processors don't want cord that won't go through there machines.

In reality no as nobody wants to sell their product cheap.

Check ALL the simple things first.

Spot on. Trying to keep it below £14 here but becoming rarer fast.

Wot he said ^

 

We tend to try and avoid oversize stuff if we can though as we're not really geared up for it and there's less demand.
