Please confirm my calculations. Its amazing how there is always another way to sell cord wood.

I think thats about 2-1/2 cords. or 180 a cord!

If its loosely thrown in there its probably closer to 2 cords. Not sure of pricing in your area....whats a cord usually go for?

So, is that Firwood, Douglas Fir or Balsam Fir? A cord tossed is around 180 cu ft versus 128 cu ft for ranked.

Check the batteries in your calculator. 35 cu yds is 945 cu ft. Divide that by 180 gets you 5.25 cord.

Ja, my truck is 33 cu.yds and I sell it as 5-6 cord . Depends on how high it's heaped.

That sounds more reasonable, theres way more than 2 cords there, you can tell just by looking.

cubic yard = 3*3*3 = 27 * 35 = 945 ~ 180 = 5.25 cords

How much you getting out of one?

Haven't sold a load in over a year. It makes more $cents$ to sell our polewood to power plants and scrag mills than to process it. A 7-8 cord load of dense hardwood poles is going for $1000-$1400 around here. Our gnarly and less dense woods like cherry and ash we're selling for $800-$950/load to homeowners for firewood.
Sold one processor last fall. The other is prolly going down the road this summer.
To the OP . Thats a decent deal.

That looks like a really good deal if you ask me! That said, I haven't paid for firewood in over a decade and a half.......I get paid to get my wood!
