Seasoned cordwood per m3

[waz77]

How much do you guys charge/pay for seasoned cord per m3, hardwood and softwood? Some of the timber I supply to a guy as sometimes been felled a few months before it's extracted and delivered then it's sat in his yard months before he processes and sells it by the ton, so when he wants to pay me by the ton I'm losing out.

i think the only way round that situation is to sell it by the cube on delivery, the rate could be altered to account for how dry it is.

Why are they not paying you on delivery or within 28days of invoice? How is it getting sold by the tonne has he got means to weigh the timber?

 

Never bought timber by volume its always on the tonnage shown on the lorry weight link.

Surely just agree a price per tonne then multiple by the weight shown on the timber lorry? The current set up seems a bit strange, does he just tell you that it weighed such and such 3 months later and without any proof?

What would you say is the average weight of a load of Hardwood on an 8 wheeler timber lorry?

Guessing around the 16 ton mark?

[waz77]

Let me explain a little. The guy is a local farmer I've known for years. I have no room at my yard for processing logs so agreed to supply him with the timber to process himself, he's just set up for doing it after having a biomass boiler fitted to run the farm. So I take all the timber there and he just processes it when he can fit it in. I told him I wanted £40t for it delivered to his. I didn't explain to him that my tonne would be wet and his tonne when sold would be dry,so I'm going explain to him, but he's likely to think I'm trying to lift his leg so just wondered how others do it. But I'll just give a price per m3, mc not an issue then. No money has changed hands yet as it's a new venture for him but I've got a few hundred m3 coming up soon so just wanted to get it sorted before then, or I'll just sell it roadside.

whats the conversion for tons to m2

 

not processed log but sold m2 instead of tonnes

 

for hard and soft wood

Don't deal with little 8 wheelers up here in big tree country

 

Would depend on the wagon, length of log, straightness, etc but I would think the 16 tonne figure mentioned would be pretty close

 

I didn't explain to him that my tonne would be wet and his tonne when sold would be dry,so I'm going explain to him, but he's likely to think I'm trying to lift his leg so just wondered how others do it.

 

There's a good bit of literature out there about the weights of different species at varying moisture contents.

 

If he's just had a biomass boiler fitted and doesn't understand the difference of wet and dry logs he could be headed to a costly mistake
