NAAC Charges FWI Today

[deutz.agrostar]

There are a few I'd question and I know we've been here before BUT is anyone actually charging £39/hr for Tractor/Trailer/Driver?

Some prices (Combining, Ploughing, Drilling etc) seem about right but he Tractor/Driver rates seem quite unrealistic, probably what they should be but I don't know anyone getting them.

£40/hr for 50kph 220hp tractors & 18t trailers on 560 tyres with front to back electric net sheets for compost etc - any less than 40/hr they'll stay in the yard

I think I've posted before, it costs me £24 an hour before fuel to put a man on a 150 hp tractor, add fuel, a bit for the trailer and I would probably want about £36 per hour. That is actually what I pay per tractor and trailer on the silage.

Also why charge more per hr on long carts? An hr is an hr surely.

100-150hp tractor & man £35.00@hour then they say hedge trimming £34.83@hour…have i missed something here or does a trimmer come free with a tractor these days

Good and warm on the long runs, compared to waiting to get loaded .................

How far out is the power Harrow price per acre £20/21 per acre, I've got to invoice for some but not sure what's resonable tbh

Edit to say I wish I knew how much derv I wound thru the pipe but I didn't meter it

I don't see how one can cover costs and survive charging that.

 

[beefandsleep]

Low fuel use on the trimmer, keeps the man busy when quiet in winter.

 

[Jaf]

It's not all about fuel. You have
To pay the wages sort it when it brakes down, buy a new one when its f**ked,pay insurance for it all,service it,put tires on them . Need I go on!!!!

How many actually know the true cost to the business. As without this knowledge,how can you price!
Someone just asked what price to charge for power Harrow... After the work had been done!
That's like building a house then plucking the cost out of thin air to charge the owner! I really do hope I've misread this!

No you've not mis read IT I didn't meter the fuel like I should have because I dropped the power Harrow and went straight to another job, I did 30ac didn't take long with 6m pwr Harrow, I wrote down to invoice £20per acre in my book, thanks for your concern but I do ok ta

Tickling it with the power harrow?
We have a few fields of light soil and to be honest it doesn't take much to break it, compared to the heavier stuff.

It was heavy going to be fair, yes I am annoyed with myself for not metering fuel, hence why I cannot work out the true cost to me which is somthing I try to do @Robt but on this occasion i couldn't

On a 6m PH? Double it easy. Work out your tractor cost/hr, depreciation, ins., tyres, service, allowance for repairs. Add labour and machinery costs I.e wearing metal depreciation. Plus fuel. Divide by acres worked in an hr and you have your costs. Now add a bit for travelling to and from the job and a bit for profit if you think you deserve it.
Edit to add-machinery costs best worked out per acre then added to (the tractor and fuel cost divided by work rate)
