[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 5763206, member: 192"] That’s accounting for everything including salaried labour and not spot cost labour. The only spot rate calculation is fuel which is 0.52l/acre using the average work done per hour not the spot rate. So we can spot rate at 60ac/hour but the reality when accounting for travelling, filling, can washing etc is 25ac/hour. The reason it’s so low is we’ve gone down the route of a used sprayer and used tractor so purchase costs are much much lower. Then loaded up the repair cost more than for new equipment but it’s still far cheaper. Buying new just doesn’t stack up for anything other than a telescopic in my eyes as that’s doing the most hours as it’s used everyday virtually. [/QUOTE]
