I didn't think it could get any funnier, but it has.

by no means is it easy work but its not that bad, just get stuck in and get it done.
you can get a post splitter cut ya logs up for less than $1 a post.
Lets see one man, 200 before lunch in 4.5hrs. Thats 270 minutes / 200 = 1.35 minutes per post, not even taking out refueling, sharpening, getting to the next log & having a drink of water. Just doesn't stack up.
BTW been going into the bush probably twice as long as you have been on this earth & have never seen one man cut 200 posts before lunch, although I have heard about it happening in the pub after 18 schooners of beer. The average number for one man cutting decent splits which weigh between 30 & 40 kg is around 70. Thats around 10 tonnes for 300 posts, or 30 for a toyota load.
If these guys are for real at a dollar a post , give me their number I could make a fortune out of their hard work & I would never cut another post.

obviously u havnt been to see anyone who can cut posts.
a post dosent weigh 40kg. more like 20kg.
anyone who only cuts 70 posts a day needs to find another job.
there are plenty of blokes around that will cut posts for $1.
im not gunna argue about something that i know is right.

Dream on boy. BTW wheres their number I'm milling on 1800 acres of ironbark country presently & they can start tomorrow. After that there is another 2500 acres on the block next door. They would have to produce 2m posts of 30 to 40kg each, as this area is genuine cattle country & not a hobby farm area where toothpicks are acceptable. Nobody would buy them here at 20 kg a post ( and who would, there would be more sapwood than anything else in the post which would only last a few years ) Originally Posted by weisyboy
