In preparation for a new building project at my work, we hired a tree service to take out 13 fifty year old trees. I asked if they would leave the trunks for me and they agreed. I am able to use the skid loader that we have for snow removal along with my grapple bucket to load them up on my trailer. Hopefully I can get them all in a load or two. They are 56 miles from my home but the cost won't be too excessive because I am not making any extra trips (loading at the end of work day).
Any guess on the weight I am looking at here? 13 trunks at about 24" to 30" across and about 30' tall.
(Here is my try - 24" X 30 = 60 sq ft or 46.9% of a cord...at 3000 lbs/cord each trunk would be 1407 lbs)
My CEO says that most of these are Pin Oak but the tree service said Locust and Ash. Any ideas on what this wood may be? I couldn’t find any fruit, acorns, or leaves. The lower branches have been trimmed. My CEO says they are 50+ years old.
If it is Pin Oak, where does that land on the BTU/Weight chart (I know it is lower than other oak). I don't see it on sweeps BTU chart.
