How to measure

[Andymacp]

I have a woodland to clear of dead standing and windblown scots pine.

I'm paying per m3 for the wood.

For my own ease I'm ringing it in the wood before taking it away in a MOG and large trailer. How do I measure it???

you can't measure rings without hours and hours and hours and.... of bother

 

stack measure is the way...

 

edit: or top diameter it all in say 2.2 or 3.7s and then ring it all up after noting the volumes.

Yeah I don't have anything to take it out of the wood in lengths.

Is there anyway to measure the trailer and do some magic math do take away the air

Standing volume?

Not an exact science but I'd say a sharp 50-60cc saw will ring up about 1.5 cube of softwood (loose)

Aye, how do I measure that?

How about running the mog and trailer over a weighbridge and work it back from that. Keep the loads the same ish and you would only need to do this once.

The person selling it should have it measured already, that way you both know where you stand.

a circle with a 10cm diameter is 78.54 cm2, opposed to a square with a 10cm dimensions which is 100cm2, so on that basis, and assuming you stacked the rings nice and tight....if you worked out the cubic meterage of your trailer and charged for 78.54% of it you should be about on the money
