Tractor and driver hourly rate

[North Yorkshire man]

Was thinking of taking on a bit of extra work . I have a case puma 165 which also has a loader on . Makes mucking out yards a quick job . No idea what an hourly rate would be .
Vary depending on job type I presume . Also have a vicon rv5216 baler . What are people charging for baling ?

 

[Chae1]

£40/hour

 

[Fendt65]

£10/hour and funnily enough i have a lot of work you can do .

 

[Robt]

£11 an hour ill pay, Im in suffolk but dont worry as I can find you some work up your way. Dont worry about all the complicated paperwork, I'll do all that!.
Seriuolsy, Id charge yourself out at £35 per hour on their fuel. If you get no work, you have lost nothing!

Costs + profit margin

Farmers are all price takers, which is rubbish

No idea what an hourly rate would be .

Why not work out what you need, rather than what you can get, and then go from there?

Factor in delay in payments.

We have done some work for contractors to help out.
Still waiting for payment months later!

I paid a lad two years ago to work for me with his Case Puma 165 and loader, same as yours, £35/hr.

Think up a number, then double it.

Go to your local dealer and ask him to quote you to change the tractor for a new one, work out the £per hr to swap add labour then add a average fuel per hr cost

Add repairs and maintenance

 

[benny6910]

Yes

Add repairs and maintenance

is was more meaning you’d be surprised at the cost already without adding more expense and then asking a farmer to pay you £45 ahr

Size, material? Swath size. Baler.

How longs a piece of string?

Around three quid for a four foot maybe…but diesel increasing so probably more needed

Hold on a minute, it's a virtual chasm between a bloke you know down the pub who turns up in a little grey for 3 hours to rotovate your cabbage patch and someone turning up in a Case and loader. I mean I'd be willing to pay more for a Valtra, example.

To finish your answer ... but not much more.
