I'm too tired to think this through! m3 to tonne pricing.

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Sorry in advance.

 

Scenario: You're buying standing (by the m3), harvesting and selling 1000m3 of larch for biomass and the buyer is paying £25/m3 for the stuff.

 

However the buyer wants to pay on tonnage at £20/tonne...

 

Seeing as larch in the blue book is 1.2m3 per tonne thus

 

25 x 0.8 = 20

 

so does that make no difference???

 

I am being profoundly thick I know

What's the blue book called? Id like to have a look?

But 20 x 1.2 is 24

[muldonach]

your arithmetic is a bit off I think

 

the inverse of 1.2 = 0.833

 

25*0.833 = £20.83 per tonne I think

Blue book isn't to hand but isn't Larch 1.11.

EL Is 1.11

JL/HL Is 1.20

If the buyer wants to pay £20 per tonne then you are getting

£20x5/6 per cu.m. = £16.67 per cu.m.

You have to cut/chip 1.2m3 to get £20

Hope that simplifies it - buyers can be tricky

It's what I make it so to keep things simple £21t

[likeitorlumpit]

If your buyer was paying £25 per m3 then he should be paying £30 per tonne not £20. Thats if 1.2m3 of larch chip weighs a tonne. Am I reading your question wrong?
