Working out cord?

[oakland firewood]

I am thinking of selling 22 tonne of cord to a local buyer,but its the first time I've sold it this way! Can anyone advise me on how I have reached the 22tonne as I don't have a weigh bridge to hand! Also would really appreciate a pic of some loads of roughly this amount to try and grasp how much I need!

 

Thanks alot

If you don't know how much 22tonnes is, why do you want to sell 22 tonnes?

 

Would you not be better of on agreeing a volume, then there's less reason for doubt?

I've probably got way over 100 tonnes to get out of 1 of my 20 odd woods! So I need to start selling as cord you see.

instsead of guessing weight why net sell as a stack measure? by volume

And the volume we have agreed on us 22 tonne

Well the chap has got a 22 tonne lorry coming and I've sold it to him at a tonne price! But if I can get a measurement in volume to equal 22 tonne that would do the job.

The wagons we use to haul timber in have built in weighing systems, 25 tns hardwood is between half and 3/4 full artic load if recently felled.

So if I've read this right. He has a 22t wagon coming but you haven't started cutting yet?

22 tonne wagon and I have felled about three tonne so far!

Rough guide is to do a stack measure axbxc then x0.55 should give approx m3-tonnage but for future ref. always sell by vol.
