Rowing up charges

[atkinsonp2]

Hi I am looking into adding a twin rota rake to my contracting line I currently do mainly Paddock Maintainance. Could anyone tell me how much people charge/pay per acre for rowing up. So I can work out if it's worth it thanks.

my man charges me £6 acre

I charge £6 but if pressed will do it for less for no other reason than avoiding having to run the baler behind a 8ft haybob.

shouldn't you just incorporate it into your baler price, as it's you that benefits not the farmer.

Same here. Nowt worse than having to drag round after a haybob. It decimates output.

Farmer benefits too, bales are much better shaped and formed following a double rotor rake. Don't do any behind hay bobs now, the threat of £1 a bale extra to follow them has discouraged their use. In the wrong hands a single rotor rake can be as bad. Somewhere between £5.50 and £6 depending on size of job and distance to travel.

That's about right for the tractor/man/ and maybe fuel depending on job, just need to add enough to cover the rake and you'll be somewhere near the £6/ac as long as not travelling too far.
