let me have your post code and i'll give you a price for artic load
-
just over 200 loads out since 2nd week in september.. prob another 100 loads in pile of what i class as free firewood from tree work then gotta start on cord i've bought in... got a 26 ton load to process and deliver in bulk for someone this week so all good at min
-
depends on species and when it was cut.. can carry 26 ton.. dont really sell by ton anymore.. base the load on a 26 ton load when green and go from there... as long as the lorry is full thats main thing.... load pure oak or even beech and trailer will only be 3/4 full for 26 ton hence reason oak and beech is normally mixed with birch or ash...

ash/birch mix delivered £1400 load...

i have acess to 5000 ton as we speak if your willing to pay the haulage.. the wood costs me £1000 load to buy?? -
my point is a full load pure ash is gonna weigh around 23-24 ton.. a load ash/hornbeam will be full 26 ton as will ash/beech etc... same load to look at on trailer.. i buy 90% my cord by load.. and therefore sell by load... lot wood i buy from one estate is cut for 5-6 months and is birch/ash/oak mix and that can weigh as little as 21 ton. whether its been cut same day or for a year your still gonna get same cu metres from it..
-
too true... does my head in when i'm constantly messaged asking what weight i get on a load.... it doesnt matter as long as the trailer is full... if they ask for pure beech i tell them it wont be afull load.. these timber cutters arent stupid.. hence the reason if they have any oak on a job or beech they'l mix it with ash or sycamore so the lorrys full...
-
just spoke to my cousin who had load wood off me in spring... he's got a metre cube bucket on forklift and has taken 45 loads out so far with fair few lengths left... and the bucket would never be underfilled... more if anything...
-
have several customers who say they get 50 bags from one of my artic loads... which could vary from 23-26 ton depending what the wood is and how dry..
-
hi.. can pick a 26 ton artic load cord [birch/ash/oak cut in june or fresh cut ash] up on my trailer, bring back to yard and put through processor and deliver to you in our bulker so you'l have to bag it up at £2400
-
i get them asking how many logs in a load.. i ask them how many do they want which confuses them... if theres say 300... split them in half again and theres 600...
-
i did nearly 800 loads last yr and prob lost 10 customers cos its loose load and not in bags... i'll live with that.. lot extra work with bags with no extra income from what i see..
-
sorry mate... didnt see original post... i'd take a chance and do load for £2200. guy comes down for straw from cumbria and has £1100 to go back with load.. he brings something down to cover his diesel..
-
we use it more amd more on farm especially now were direct drilling into stubble... some land has 3 or 4 doses of it in a yr... 3 before the crops even in ground sometimes.. 3-5litres acre
-
the log grab would work fine with only one service.. same as it does on mini digger. fixed facing forward only need a service to operate grapple open and close... pallet tines are ok if wood is all stacked perfectly same way...
-
a timber grab similar to one on my crane could easily be made to go on a teleporter.. we have a smaller version on a 1.5 ton digger.. unbelievable what it'l lift... good thing with it is its very quick so inbetween loading the processor it sorts the cord out into 2,4,6 way wedge... less time changing wedge..
-
no mate... hard enough making any money from one... have a tractor unit and 4 trailers to try to keep it busy...
-
weight is irrelevant really as long as lorry is full.. which it is with 2.4m lenghts and 4 bays... 3 bays of 3.4m and you get even more on load obviously green beech or oak and trailer wont be full.. my loads are either birch ash oak thats been cut while or ash hornbeam sycamore oak fresh felled... all i'm going by is 4 or 5 customers who process into 0.8m bags have said there getting roughly 55m3 from load... and when i buy cord by m3 i'm told i have 25m3 on the trailer.. so going by what i've read on here on numerous occassions that should at least double when split.. and my loads are 1.3m3 which one of my lads will do 10 in a morning or an afternoon with a haki plike 1x37.. no log deck.. but loading with a mini digger and grab onto a stack of pallets.. 5 lengths at time..
-
but one of my artic loads of 4 bays of 2.4m lengths will give you around 55m3... which after paying £1300 for said load leaves £56 m3... i could split 10 loads on sat morn through processor and take same 10 loads out in afternoon... £560 for days work less £60 in fuel isnt to be sniffed at... i took 16 load out sat morning... wood was all split after a days tree work so labour free....

used to have a dodge ram with 5.9 cummins... 2wd auto.. in the wet you'd sit in traffic with foot on brake and in drive and the back wheels would spin...

can put as little as you want on but haulage rate will the same.
