Odd, a cord here averages 300 to 400 bucks.
The Indians sell what they call a cord, but it is a face cord. basically, 2x4x8.
Oh well, Jeff

ya my guys sell them cheap like 150-180 bucks.

 

[treemandan]

ya thats what my understanding of a cord was

A cord is 128 cubic feet no matter how its measured.


Its always been and always will be a conundrum. Well, not for me. After reading through the firewood section and coming across one of the many wise and proliferic posts by the illustrious TreeCo, where he advised that tossing a pile of wood into a space measuring 160 that would account for it not being stacked neatly, I measured my rig and found a conveinient space measuring 180. Turns out, the old sod was right! I don't know what make me more mad: him being right or that Godam bunny song stuck in my head.

I tell you if I still was trying to get 4x4x8 in my truck I would have allready been admitted to the psych ward. Glad I at least got the wood thing worked out, Phew! What a relief! Thanks Bubber TreeCo.

180 is as low as i will/can go. I only process the good easy stuff. Pay a kid 10 bucks cash an hour. I can do that cause he is on my property. He just runs the splitter and smokes pot... I get him to mow the lawn too. The pot smoking actually helps productivty when it comes to splitting, trust me, I know. Dam, I just realized I turned 3900. The guy down the road moved over 200 cord and counting. Of course he's got 40k in equipment. Me? Not so. I was talking to the guys at the Pennhurst dump but they are so uneducated I wouldn't want to get involved. Dude had a pile of logs he thought were good, I was sad to tell him otherwise.

If you knew how hard it was for me to stuff that rabbit in that dress you would just drop the subject.

What is your point?

[squad143]

do you have a way for measuring out a cord that works well

I'm sure there is a lots of great advice in the firewood section.

This is how a friend of mine (sells quite a bit if wood) does it:

Stack a bunch of cords. Count the number of pieces in each cord. Get your average for pieces/ cord.

From then on, just count the pieces as you throw them into the truck for delivery to the customer. - Throw a couple of more in for good measure.:msp_biggrin:

You end up handling firewood way too much. The fewer times you move it around, the better.


Sorry to continuing the derail of the original post.

how did the installation turn out? are you pleased? just wondering. tom.

 

[mattfr12]

wasn't able to get it done yet still waiting the parts where supposed to be in yesterday dropped the truck off and they didn't show up their gonna call me as soon as the parts arrive. will keep you posted.

 

[mattfr12]

Some guys wanted to know how this worked out. And in my mind I would definitely do it again. Tried it out yesterday with the morbark on the back and it will hold the truck and actually shed speed on its own going down hill. I can go down most hills now without touching the brakes. It is very effective on the dt-466 for sure.

Cost around 2300.00 installed with tax. I got one going on a c-7 cat for my bucket truck next week I'll post if it works as good.

I'm putting some vinyl on trucks tomorrow I'll try and make a video.
