How much wood in a grapple load?

This load of oak (mostly) was $500 back in Sept.

I just finished splitting it. I'll measure the yield this weekend.

I just measured the rows...Looks like about 7.5 cord.

I would guess about 6-ish cord stacked.

My last 3 loads on a "grapple truck" was 60,000lbs of wood on each load. Up here we use 5,000lb= 1 cord when buying by the truckload. really no other way to measure it. But that 12 cord of wood i bought by weighted cord stacked up to about 10 1/4 to 10 1/2 cords of wood.

Im a forester and deal with loggers as my main duties. I have never seen any of these trucks except on the internet that yall have. As far as that load of loogs from the OP is looks no more than 2.5 cords.

They make scaling sticks to tell you amt in a log? If the wood is green you can do that.

I pay $600 for this and get 8 cords of Oak, Maple, Ash and a little hickory

I paid $87./cord in sept(same as the mill paid) for 9 cords of beautiful hard maple, in two piles.

Nope..I already split and stacked it, then measured. There were a few big ones!
