Tons to cu meters

[Hoss]

Afternoon all,

Wondered if anyone could help me work out how many cu meters of hardwood you get from a ton of green fresh felled Ash/sycamore/field maple once processed ?? Thanks. Got 16 ton cut down weighed with trailor weighloader which is fairly accurate as we use it for grain & fertiliser.

Pretty close to 2m3 of logs per tonne for mixed hardwood. Be aware that if you using supposed 1m3 bags they may well hold a lot more than 1m3!

Thanks Woodworks, I deliver loose with tipper trailer. Heard that, got some 1m3 vented bags to try seasoning in so will bear that in mind.

1,7 m3 - 1,9 m3 out of 1 tonne depending on how good you can stack it.

Same for us - we get 1.8 out of 1 ton but it does go up a bit if you cut longer logs.

Good thread this...how about Beech ?

I'd say it's more... A cube of green wood (solid) is around 600kg, therefore a ton is 1.6cube of solid wood. Then a cube of solid wood produces about 1.5 cube of logs.

 

I'd reckon around 2.4 cube?

hi over the year always reckon o 2m3 per tonne of hardwood mixed.Seems to

have been the same for me for the last 20 years.

Delivered in 1m3 pick up loads or used to do 2m3 transit loads so always the same quantity unlike bags that stretch.

Cheers Chris.
