I'd be very surprised if they are m3 bags.

 

That Transit would be on its arse with 9m3 on its back.

I buy a builders bag of hardwood logs for £65. We use 1m cubic gabion baskets as a log store, each bag is circa 0.65m3.

 

I have to admit I'd love a m3 of logs at some of the prices quoted here...

hi their we find the best way of making good money out of logs is have auction in your yard people love it we but dump bags of logs out kindling nets 20 on a pallet , lorry load of cord wood 25 ton , rings of timber if logs you will sell it and do it the last week off august before winter do vat no buyers % it is great ps you need good parking

Shes got a body just under 15ft in length

And has uprated leaf springs so can take anit of extra weight, and with it being a mix if hard and soft wood and fully dry soft weighs hardly anything it looks heavier than what it is

 

Surely if it's got an extended body and up rated springs, its payload must be done to about 1250 kegs max???

Even 5 bags of well seasoned softwood must weigh that....

Err no, uprating the springs in no way increases your payload, it may make a traffic officer less likely to spot your overloaded, but it won't add an ounce to your legal GVW, in fact the up rated springs are likely to be a little heavier than the originals, so your carrying capacity will actually be reduced.

It's a bit like a 3-1/2 ton tri axle trailer will legally hold less than a twin axle 3-1/2 ton trailer
