Info

Weight Scaling Typically used for small diameter low value logs Relative to stick scaling, weight scaling is quick and easy Weight can be converted to an equivalent board foot or cord volume using weight scale factors
Benefits of Weight Scaling Reduced scaling costs Requires less handling of logs Encourages more efficient loading and prompt delivery of logs after harvesting Disadvantage of Weight Scaling This method does not consider size, log quality or species mix, log diameter, length, or soundness
