Volume of logs in a artic load

[hplp]

1300 euro which works out at about 1150 pounds

 

You're looking at between 28 and 30m3 on a legal load.

The answer is around 42 cubic metres of chopped loose firewood - sometimes a few more rarely less.

That sounds about right, a bulker 2x2x20m would be 40cube.

That sounds about right, a bulker 2x2x20m would be 40cube.

 

A bulker 2x2x20 would be 80 cube according to my arithmetic - either way that is the volume of the wagon and even split logs will not stow better than 50% in my experience.

 

I don't know the dimensions of a bulker wagon since we have never used them but don't believe they go up to 20m.

i recon,

26.6t load @ £1000..

1.3t on transit tipper green split logs..

transit tipper = 4 builders bags (0.5m3)..= 2m3

26.6/1.3 =20..

20x2 = 40m3..

so i recon 40m3 is a good guesstemate..

=80 builders bags @ £55 bag =£4400..

so you could quadrouple your money....???

 

Quadruple your money always sounds good until you work out your costs and then you feel like you have earnt every penny

IME, there is no one in our game, be it cutting or timber, making easy money!!!

 

You can make a good living BUT as you say, we earn every penny!!!!

exactly what i was thinking.

 

you are telling me on this thread between 30 and 40 cube to a load so that would mean a cube before i process it would cost me between 32.50 euro and 43.50. put processing costs on top of that (ive been quoted 250 euro a day and it would take 2 and a half days) which would bring the price of a cube up to between 48 euro and 64 euro. this is before i factor delivery costs and time so from what i see there might be something in it but nothing as tasty as quadrupleing my money....

 

Thank you all for your input

111 m3 Sitka spruce with mean dia 35cm and period of delay between felling and weighing of 365 days possibly around 84 tonne (Norway spruce slightly more).

Artic trailer will be more like 13.6 metres long. No chance of 20..
