How many firewood nets from an artic ??

[wannabe logger]

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to how many standard log nets could be filled from an artic load? Would 1000--1200 be anywhere close to the mark? Thanks:thumbup1:

I get 50 cubic meters on an artic, and my nets are 40L so thats 25 nets per cubic meter. So that's 1250 nets for 50 cube, BUT................... nets are packed neat with no big air gaps, artics are not. so take away a massive 25% volume to be safe and you get 937. I recon you could round it off to 1000 nets.

Your welcome, but you may want to double check the maths, I am what you might call "retarded" when it comes to mathematical questions.

Fill a net with fresh cut logs = Xkg

Artic load usually 26T (26,000kg)

26,000 divided by X will give number of bags

 

so if a net weighs 10kg, answer is 2600 nets

less 5% for waste = 2470 nets

 

if a net weighs 15kg, answer is 1733 nets

May be take 5% off to allow for waste = 1646 nets

 

if a net weighs 25kg, answer is1040 nets

less 5% for waste = 988 nets
