Took a load of scrap to the scrap yard not so long ago, 21,000lbs and walked out with $125 CDN. Used to get $600 for a full size truck a few years ago. $92 doesn't seem worth it either.
92$ is insane minus your time and equipment and fuel and maintenance u lost money man that's insane but hey thanks for the video and information for us!
I'm down south and white oak brings $1 per board foot for boards. I have sawmill and I make way more on fire wood $100 for pickup truck load most get. I sell half cord oak for $125 or $200 a cord which is a 16 foot utility trailer 2 feet deep or the trailer I have. Magnolia state is my home..
Would you be better off hauling it to the Amish one of the mills that make pallets? That's probably quaking Aspen they don't make good firewood either. Least it paid for the fuel !
One of the other firewood you tube people cut 2 oak trees side by side. they were the same species and size. They cut one into firewood and sold it and the other they took to the saw mill. They got 3.5 times more selling it as firewood than as a saw log. I have several acres of oak and hickory that are big but I am not selling them for nothing. I really don't understand why anyone would sell to a saw mill.
That’s good info you can get a lot of money from logging and letting someone else do all the work vs what I did I have some new videos to make I just let the Amish cut a huge pile of wood for me I just have to split it and sell it. I also had them clear some land and they cut 60 saw logs that I got a decent amount of money letting mills bid them and cut the smaller stuff into firewood.
Red and white oak , chestnut oak , poplar , hard maple and ash is where it’s at , in ky it’s up to 4.00$ a board foot white oak , and red oak is up to 2.00$ , ash is 50-60 cents , poplar is 50-70 cents , hard maple is 70-1.40$ then hickory is low right now but still 50 cents a board foot , and so is pulp wood and walnut is 2.00- 10.00 a board foot , I’m glad I’m not wherever you are lol
Joseph Bennett You sound like you are pretty informed when it comes to prices on various types of trees. I have a question you may be able to help with. Do you know how much I could get out of cedar trees? I probably have around 70 or 80 of them I would like to get rid of of. I don't know if mills would take them or not. Thanks for any info.
@@jjustice7429 that I’m not sure on , we don’t have a ton of big cedar here so they dont really have many going in to the mill , I’m good on hardwood species but , cedar is pulp wood pretty much so it prolly isn’t worth a ton , my guess would be anywhere from 0.30-0.60 a board foot , but they may buy it by the ton instead of per board foot , when it comes to pine and cedar I’m not very good on values, and it also depends on what state your in also if there is loggers that deal with cedar or not , I would call a saw mill in your state and ask how much cedar is worth
really hard to hear you but really interested in the information! I think I got it though - agree with Bryangoggin below. when you get a load of quality oak and walnut it will most likely be worth your time. Get to know what they are looking for , maybe you can barter a better price.
Terri Webb yeah they didn’t bring much. I would like to see what a load of nice size white oak brings. The Amish were buying a log truck of logs for 1k still not a lot for how many logs and the cost to operate that truck
@@WorldsOkayestFarmer idk about where you live but we sell most of our white oak to a stave company. They make whiskey barrels out of white oak and it does really well. Last load we sold averaged $1.87 a board foot.. we haul about 4000 feet on a semi at a time..
@@WorldsOkayestFarmer but even at a lumber yard they should average good for good common white oak..it would help you to call your local mill and see what lengths there wanting or even see if they would come mark them for you so you know where to cut them.. cutting them wrong can really hurt the value..
@@WorldsOkayestFarmer some times its worth it just to hire a logging company. It sucks to give 40 to 50 percent away but a good logger will know where and how to get the best mkney out of them and they no whats worth cutting and what aint.. walnut and white oak is doing really well right now just about anywhere.. redoak is down right now.. hard maple does ok.. quakys, ash, soft maple, hickory, are all kind of a lower grade lumber that isnt going to pay you very well..

ImpactoDelSur Enterprise are you talking about not getting paid enough for it or people actually taking it from your land because no one just takes it from land around here
Yep, that's why i keep all the cheap logs from the forest and make firewood out of it. I would get paid about 80$ for a cord by the forestry company. if i keep it, make firewood and sell it, it's about 300$. That's a no brainer, i can make about 3-4 cords a day with my machines alone, with two people 4-5, that's between 600-1000$ per day if i make firewood instead of giving it to the sawmill. Even for the higher valuable trees i woul'd get maybe twice the price from the sawmill. That's why some people prefer to make firewood even out of straight long logs and just selling the overhead they can't handle during the season, as they still make more money with firewood than with the sawmill
Lots of money we have got $80,000 off of 80 acres years agony’s that’s splitting it 50/50 prolly 30 years ago if you have the right trees and know what your doing there is a lot of money made now the 80 acres would bring close to 200,000
My woods have not been cut in the 26 years that we have lived here and they looked to be 60 to 80 years old or more I got 7k for 206 black Oak trees a lot had three and 4 big trunks coming from the stump 26 to 30 inches a cross where they cut. The mess was not worth what I got. If you don't need the money keep the beauty of walking through your woods. 34 dollars a tree is not worth it, I'm left with the tops on the side of a road that I have to straighten up with the ruts from dragging the logs. 7k seems pretty good but when I see what I lost and the mess it's not so good. Then they used my 3 acres that's sesperate from where they cut, it's what I bought later they made a mess of that property and I have to look at the logs until they take them out, it's like there own storage lot.
Y’all live in some terrible places then , here that would of brought close to 70k , my granpa got 80,000 on 80 acres back 30 years ago and now we would get roughly 200k if logged now again , I’m glad I don’t live where you do
@@josephbennett4442 Dude exactly what I was thinking. Either the mill ripped off CarMonkey or the area is terrible. 206 trees for $7k?! they must have been 10 inches across... Should have at least gotten $50K
Wow yous can get $250 a cord of wood! Here everyone that heats with wood has bush on the farm like us we go cut down a bunch bring them out and let them season. Really only people you can sell wood to are campers
@@pabowhunter2443 white oak is actually really hot right now.. i live in ohio and cut timber for a living, we sell alot of ours for staves, they make whiskey barrels out of it.. pays really well. Even a common sawmill will pay good money depending on size and cleanness.
Yeah you had small trees besides that popular and not good kinds that why you got such little money. People think you can get so much logging but that’s really not the case unless you have big desirable trees
$92 for the load is what he got.
yep not worth it on that wood
His load was tiny

Sorry sarah

Next time turn the truck off. Man, I really wanted to hear everything he was saying. Damn.

That also wasnt very high quality logs
Is timber theft an issue? Especially when you have premium wood growing on your land.
ImpactoDelSur Enterprise are you talking about not getting paid enough for it or people actually taking it from your land because no one just takes it from land around here
No but I’d invest in security for tools cos timber suggests that you got good tools
I think he means people cutting down your trees and stealing them, which is pretty unrealistic.

Gerrald Farms you too man yeah it was a little low could have cut and split it for $250
learned some years ago there is no real money in taking logs to the saw mill.

Yeah but the profit goes up dramatically with higher quality wood and bigger logs. It's not linear.
Chop that smaller stuff up and burn it.
You might look around for hobby woodworkers and I would have planked it and used it around the place.
