[QUOTE="early riser, post: 4476054, member: 11583"] Currently run 120hp loader tractor to carry out all tasks on 120 cow/200ac dairy farm. Thinking seriously about moving to a small telehandler e.g. Kramer for feeding up/scraping out/cubicle bed management. What concerns me is the potential cost of telehandler ownership. I have heard some fairly frightening tales of repair costs from neighbours over the years, but I have no personal experience. Does anyone have any realistic costs of ownership in terms of £/hr that they would care to share? Need some half accurate costs for future budgets By way of comparison, the average cost of owning my last three loader tractors (excluding fuel) changed at 3yrs/3000hrs can be broken down as follows: Depreciation £4.67/hr Routine servicing every 250hrs £0.62/hr Repairs £0.36/hr Insurance £0.70/hr TOTAL £6.35/hr n.b. Tyre wear included within depreciation as it is always traded in on original tyres. How is this likely to compare to running a telehandler (n) Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
