How many wheelbarrow loads are in a cord?

[davidwyby]

Thanks

My wheel barrow is 7 cu feet, so 18ish?

Might sell bulk to a guy who sells for $30 a ‘barrow.

If my maffs are correct, there’s 128 cubic feet in a full cord (4x4x8=128). The standard wheel barrow size is 3 cubic feet. So there is roughly 42 wheel barrows worth of wood in a cord.

I should start selling split firewood by the wheelbarrow for $30 a pop - I’d make a killin!

Out side of many stores and gas stations they sell 5 split pieces for $5.99 - $9.99, the wheelbarrow load would be a bargain!!

Holy smokes they are rippin people off! They sell small bundles like that around here too, but last I remember they were only about $4.99 or so.

I was figuring 4cf-6cf per wheelbarrow, so I say 22-32 loads to a cord. I would lean more to the higher number if you're trying to prepare an estimate.

Just happened across this add on mkt place $20 heaped wheel borrow load, how big is you wheel borrow and how high is it heaped.

The wheelbarrow marketing just makes city slickers feel warm and fuzzy that they are buying a good amount of wood. In reality, it’s not any better. But brilliant, really. And like most products I suppose, buying in bulk (cord) should be cheaper than only buying a little at a time..

Ideally I’ll sell him unsplit rounds

Did the ad specify you had to move the wheelbarrow after stacking wood? If it is what you can stack and not move it, I could Jenga the heck out of it and then hand-jam it to the truck...lol

Point being that just saying wheelbarrow it could be any amount depending on size of said wheelbarrow.

Never tried fatwood but a good handful of noodling noodles make for some good firestarter.

grandparents back in the day used chainsaw dust mixed with used motor oil, probably frowned on today.

wonder if a person compressed saw dust mixed with melted paraffin wax and formed into cubes what the profit margin would equal.

I get about 18-20 wheelbarrow loads per cord if I stack it on there. Around 35-40 splits/load, sometimes more. Around 700-800 splits per cord
My son stacks 50-60 splits on the wheelbarrow, which looks more like a rolling jenga tower. He can't maneuver with it like that, but he can move a pile of wood in a hurry across flat ground.

Edit: actually, my numbers are off, a cord for me would probably be around 600-700 pieces because I cut them a bit longer, 17-18".

I need to start counting and weighing

I think @Wolverine does something like that?
