I'm getting another one of these soon, 10 cord of 8 footers mostly red oak and ash.$300.
The driver said about 7 cords....it's 90% oak, a little maple/elm as well.

Does he run his truck on sawdust?
Up here the asking price is around $100-120 a cord for 6 to 8 cord load. I've never ordered one and got to negotiating but I doubt it would get much cheaper even with cash.
I had an arborist drop two monster ash trees for $300 at the field edge near my house. He guesstimated that there might be 6 to 8 cords in the two trees. So I figured I can't get wood delivered for $50/cord so I might as well get him to fell them. There is about 1 cord in the first 8' of each of them but cutting up a 44" diameter log is going to be a challange.

I've got a few ideas on how to break it down and I don't have a splitter so the plan is to split/rip it right there at least into pieces I can lift. Both trees are 150 yards from the house so its going to be a winter project to get myself in shape as well.We just ran into this with three trees NUTNDUN and I cut the last two weeks. The three were 26", 34", and 36" diameter...there's a lot of wood in those trees, but the amount of work that goes into bucking, and then noodling the bigger rounds into pieces we can get onto a trailer by hand, and how many trips it takes to haul that much wood...and my 066 recoil spring crapped out on us yesterday before we even got the 34" down on the ground...it made for a long day.
I like getting that much wood from just a few trees, but at the end of the day, you start to question if it's worth all the effort compared to cutting 18-24" trees when you don't have any equipment to use.
