I reckon so. Harvester >Forwarder>Lorry>Yard>Loader>Log Deck>Processor>Tipping Delivery Truck.

 

Exactly !

Exactly !

 

And hardwood is just that - hard. A lot of the sites we're cutting are being replanted with all the pc eco hardwood mixes, cherry, pear and other rubbish. Sod cutting that in the future. Need to plant mechanically recoverable crops!

Your right there...but I don't understand why more dont go to the woods or roadsode with their processors. I aim to cut out cord haulage completely this year. Instead go to the heap with my machine and 18t grain trailer. I appreciate you have to be close by to make this practical etc. There is no way ill pay for cord haulage with 35ish miles of my yard.

How do you work out what weight you have taken out of the stack though to pay for cord.

Buy it per cube. Try to avoid buying anything via weight if I can help it
