[QUOTE="D14, post: 6736720, member: 49382"] We have recently been given a price list from a good contractor. This is the total cost including fuel. Ploughing £19/acre Drilling £21/acre Power Harrowing £16.50/acre Rolling £6/acre Combining and carting with 1 tractor and trailer £39/acre Spraying flat rate of £3.80/ac for up to 200l/ha (water) Liquid fert application £4.50/ac flat rate Granular fert application £5/acre Heston baling £5/bale Bale carting tractor and trailer £40/hour Loader and driver £40/hour Those are very fair rates to secure a complete farm job. They don't tend to buy brand new equipment but they have multiple numbers of each so for example 3 combines, 4 drills, 4 ploughs, 3 power harrows, 2 sprayers etc so would try to turn up in multiples and blitz the jobs out. There is no profit share or contract farming, just simply a contractor doing the field work jobs. Interestingly they do not run any min till equipment as they have very little interest from customers, but they have just bought a no-till drill as they is being asked for more commonly. [/QUOTE]
