what’s a fair price?

I was gonna say he should pay you for the cleanup! But if it is all pulled out in a convenient pile then maybe $10-20 per cord...and a case of cold beverage to him...that'd be about my limit for wood I hafta cut/load/split etc etc etc

 

Buying a few triaxles & having em delivered

 

Before we talked, guess he wanted the stuff outta the woods

 

If your only other option is triaxle loads and the tops are pulled out with easy access I would probably go as high as 20.00 an 8 ft pickup load stacked full so that would be about 40/cord.

 

Your input is greatly appreciated sir.

 

Having the wood skidded out so you can pull up with your truck, cut it and load it makes it worth more $$$. I think that $40 a cord would be reasonable.
My cousins skidded tops out after their woods were logged 30 years ago and sold it quickly at $20 a pick up load back then.

 

My neighbor down the road called me and said he had his woods logged and was just trying to get it cleaned up and I could have all I wanted for free. He had the loggers drag tops out for half a day and there was plenty in the woods to but that wood was hard to get. I got 12 pickup loads and called uncle, but plan on going back later after I take a break. By the way, he called several others he knew and nobody showed up. Natural gas is pretty cheap and I guess in this part of the country people are on the lazy side too, haha!!! It was ash, white and red oak and some hickory.

 

The logger paid him about $10 per cord for log length cordwood. I wouldn’t go over that.

 

I would just offer to split the wood 50/50 CSS. Twice the fun for half the wood. Both win. If he doesn't burn wood he can sell it and make his $$$.

 

My offer would remain the same. It's not firewood till you do all the work.
