[QUOTE="AlfM, post: 8025824, member: 26"] How are current fuel/labour/machinery costs going to affect pricing to customers this year? Fuel the biggest one. 175 hp tractor here on the road is using £5-£6/hr more fuel at 80p than 50p as an example. Some may say use farmers fuel but if you're running modern kit on GTL it's not really an option to go to an unknown tank and put something in that may cause filter issues. I'd say most prices until back end of last year are/were based on fuel at a max of 50p/l? So do we work out fuel usage and add anything over the 50p onto the previous price as a minimum (before taking labour/machinery into it). Will the customers pay? Interested what other contractors for anything from cultivation work to silage/muck are thinking of doing. [/QUOTE]
