trailer full of wood...question

[mga]

how much wood, stacked only one chunk high in a 16 foot trailer? would it be more than a face cord?

I have so much damn wood from cutting trees that it will take me forever to split it all, so, I figured I'd try to sell a trailer "full" instead for a bargain price. if I figured right, it would be about 1.5 face cords and i'll list it for $125 bucks, delivered. these would be just the rounds...unsplit. (100% ash) they can do the splitting...lol

yes? no? bad idea?

How is that splitter holding up that you built on here?? I would think with that nice splitter you would just split it all and sell it.

Multiply length x width x height. 128 cu feet is a cord.

splitter works like a bear. never had any issues with it and it has split tons and tons of wood.

problem I have now is all my neighbors love it too!

I gotta measure it......brb

6.5 feet x 16 = 104 sq. ft

I think I should raise the price a little

I just have to move some wood.....took down another 20 tress the other day and at least 10 today. I'm still cutting trees up from a week ago and have many many more that have to come down.

ugh. never thought I'd say I have too much wood.

4/5 of a cord I suspect

so, a face cord around here goes for 60 to 90 bucks, that means a cord would go for $280? I better check craigslist.

going price is 75 to 95 bucks per FACE cord.

Whats the diameter of the rounds? 36 inch rounds will be well over a cord.

they vary, any where between 6 to 18 inches

then use 12" as a common measure for height ! which you have deemed not important to figure a cubic foot to a square foot? lol you need all 3 numbers to figure! go figure? lol

Probably not what you want to do, but you'll only have to do it once.

Load your trailer with rounds to whatever you are going to sell as a "load." Then split those rounds, stack and measure. Then you'll have a good estimate of what you can get on the trailer for pricing.

Yup I just saw that then read this, 3 measurements.

Sell the wood to your neighbors then rent the splitter to them.

16 foot trailer 6.5 feet wide (assuming rounds 16" (or 1.3 ft) standing on end) would be 135 cubic feet or essentially 1 cord of wood.
