[NickW]

Similar... not the same.

Looks like a nice set-up well planned.. You Lucky Dog !!

 

[NickW]

Lots of room for my hoarding tendencies... wife put the cabash on another garage though.

Semi-load delivered today. Mostly hard maple, small portion soft maple, and a little basswood. First impression is good quality logs. Will know more once I start to buck it up.

I based my cordage number on just the truck, the truck only which is about the same size we get around here yields 6 1/2 to 7 cords even though many companies advertise 8 - 10 cords, the trailer kicker will def get you closer to the ten cord mark, good luck and take your time with the pile.

That's what we call a double load here.
In my experience, you will end up with
16to 18 cord. depending on how you split and stack
Nice Load

Semi-load delivered today.

What did this cost ? Looks like some nice wood.

 

[jebatty]

Cost was $105/cord delivered to my site as shown in the pictures. The trucker is located about 60 miles from me. He acquired the logs from the logger I have used on two cuts on our property, one a Golden Wing Warbler habitat improvement cut on about 30 acres of aspen, the other a thinning of a 19 acre natural white pine stand with trees in about the 50-75 year age class. The logger did a superb job on my two cuts.

Oops...

I am curious how many cords you paid for versus how much css you yield when done...?

Just curious why you paid for basswood?

 

[jebatty]

Finished four cords, about 1/3 of the load, bucked, split and stacked. My wife operated the splitter ram while I loaded the splitter and threw the splits into a trailer. This is what's left for next year and beyond.

Nice pile, if I had room for something like that at my place I would do it.

Man i get jealous reading threads like this! There's only one person to deal with in my small town for log delivery. It costs $185 per cord of white birch, but then another $350 to have it delivered (six cords/delivery). So, $1110 for the wood, plus $350 for delivery works out to $243 per cord delivered to my driveway in 8ft lengths. And you fellas are getting the primo hardwoods to boot! What I would give for a nice load of hardwood.

 

[BIGChrisNH]

Wow, that's expensive. In New Hampshire I can get it for around $100 per cord if I got a grapple load delivered. If I had room for it that is.

 

[johneh]

Here it is 1150 plus 13%
Harmonized screw tax (HST)
when cut and split works out to 7 -71/2 cord
Sugar maple and red Oak

Hello. So I’m from Northeast Wisconsin and I’m interested in getting a semi load of logs does anyone know anyone or where I could order from? Thanks

 

[jebatty]

Search for area loggers and call them.

I would call all tree companies in the area, ask them about grapple loads or whatever they call them in Wisconsin. Lots of times those guys (arborists or loggers) will sell log loads or know someone else who will. Or best case scenario, the smaller arborist operations without the storage space may be willing stuff to drop stuff on your property.

I got this grapple load of red oak two years ago this November. It cost me $950 and the guy said it was 11-12 logger cord and I got 11 stacked cords from it. The price is still the same now.

 

[BIGChrisNH]

Now THAT is a good deal my friend. I can't get a truck that big down here, but the lowest I've heard is around $100 per cord, so that's a steal. If my wife and I ever get more land, I would definitely do something like that.
