Hardwood trees with a 14-inch diameter on the other hand, will weigh 1 ton. Larger hardwood trees that are around 24 inches in diameter can weigh as much as 3.55 tons while mature hardwood trees that already have 36 inches in diameter or 113 inches in circumference can weigh a whopping 8.21 tons.
Consequently, how heavy is an oak tree?
The landowner looked in Table 1 and found that the merchantable portion of a hardwood tree of that size is estimated to weigh 2.16 tons. Post oak is listed in Table 4 and has an adjustment factor of 1.026. The estimated merchantable weight for a post oak of that size is 2.22 tons (2.16 X 1.026).
Simply so, how heavy is a tree log?
Scaling diameter is the average diameter inside the bark at the small end of the log; MBF is 1,000 board feet. Tons per MBF value is an average over all log lengths. board feet of Doyle scaled logs can weigh, on average, from 15 to 5 tons for log (scaling) diameters from 8 to 20 inches, respec- tively (Table 3).
