[QUOTE="Nearly, post: 7811403, member: 149"] Drilled 11 acres with combi for neighbour to south of us last month. Biggest part of job was looking for the chain to drag the disused hunt jump out of the hedgeline. ;) I rolled ploughing before I fetched drill, then he rolled drilling afterwards. Marginal cost was about 40 litres of diesel. £30 at the time. Contracting charge would be £5 an acre for rolling then £25 for drilling. I'll be charging him £25 x11 acres when I get around to it. He's a neighbour with spare land. ;) Real cost is priceless as field was rained on overnight and was green over inside a week. I'll be getting more work to do and can do it at the right time for both of us. He can come and drive for me for £10 an hour off his bills. That's my reality. [/QUOTE]
