Guess what.......need seasoned cord!

[farmer_ben]

really ben.?

If it is dry then ought to be £75/80t delivered in.

 

Fairer way would be by the m3 wouldnt it...?

 

Fresh cut or laid for ages.

 

Artic upto pins wet get 26t

artic upto pins dryish get 18/19t

 

buy by volume,

sell, as we all do , by volume

 

yep i agree with all of that Bob, when i do work for landowners/farmers..i always buy the wood off of them by the volume. fair to both parties then. Not so sure why cord always seems to be per t?!

 

£65 was roadside, suppose would be around £75-80 with haulage.

If you buy by volume they will send an arctic load of 2" bent beech sticks. If we had a load of oversize built up I used to just ring it then 2 of us put it through a vertical splitter. If you are going to billet over size butts you need a big vertical splitter that turns a 2ft but in to 1/2 doz sticks in one pass.

Ive been thinking about what to do with the over size butts we are about to buy a bobcat so was thinking of a screw splitter for that or a big horizontal like

the Bindenberger in the classifieds.

I have never tried a screw splitter on a bobcat but we were thinking of putting a cheap log splitter upside down and chasing the big rings about the field with it to break them down a bit so we could pick them up by hand and get them on the vertical splitter.
