    we aint doubting that after splitting over here, the problem is u wont get 67cubic metres of round timber in a 67 cubic metre container, i reckon 35 or less. so jays calculation are pie n the sky......huck lol

    sry all round timber that comes into the UK has to be debark, EU or not, maybe i missing something here.........is the container volume 67cc metres or is it bigger and holds 67 cubic metres of timber.

    sry cant see any conifers are they further along.... had similar job other day, pine tree came down due to weight of snow on care home roof..was worse than it looked

    jay vee u seem to be selling the volume of the container not the volume of the wood in it. As been commented above i doubt if the actual volume of the wood is 30 cc metres. U must be transporting the wood to the containers by timber wagons so it must have been weighed, u must know how many trailer loads fill a container. UK birch cut 2010 delivered to ur yard is £35 a tonne or around £42 a cubic metre if u prefer that measurement. I am afraid to me, urs works out about £190

    i spent 2to3yrs working in front of the harvesters on windblown after the last big blow up here........sometimes u get u 10 trees or more still attached to a plate...always a bit worrying which 1 to leave to the end.....surprising some just go dowm slowly others crash down.personally a line of trees all lying on the tree in fronts plate tend to be a bit more dangerous. nice job well done

    a company pays him his invoices in 24hrs for a 10% commission........really depends how bad ur cashflow is, i found if keep everything tight for a few months until u get within ur payment cycle but ur bank should be ur first call. We all know the slow payers in the forestry business, contractors ended up financing estate and forestry management company jobs. waiting 90 days for ur money is a joke.

    u buy some in and we will learn from ur experience.......too variables to import here and plenty hardwood in this country if the land/forest managers would get their fingers out imo

    if u convert 1 cubic metre of round timber into firewood u still have 1 cubic metre of timber.....it may take up more room now but its still1 cc metre of timber........if they are selling u 68cc metres of firewood i would want a lot more than 20 metric tonnes for my money,but thats my personal opinnion
  14. slasherscot
    it comes done to what is 68cc metres of wood.......to me 68 cc metres of dry firewood should weigh in about 40 metric tonnes..therefore u cant get it on any lorry or get into the back of a container. but at the end of the day its what profit u can make from it that really matters
  15. slasherscot
    68cu3 of birch on 1 lorry load i think not LOL........it would either be over weight or loaded up to the moon..........ask to see some on the Uk mainland or customers they all ready sold too.
