tractor hire with operator

[lloyd]

Yes that’s what I hope to do I think it’s very viable I also heard something about stone crushing that’s there’s a few pounds in it

Had someone with an 8t Hitachi do some.
Great piece of kit and versatile.

What would they cost for a good one second hand do you think ?

Could people involved in contracting in this region explain to me what they think of the idea of man and machine for 35 euros per hour?

That’s was my plant to hire it out during the winter from sept until march

Per week? Per day? Per clock hour for the hire?
Who pays for the rebuild after it has been dragging a tanker with no brakes and your tractor's brakes are then found circulating it's gearbox?
This is the type of scenario you need to plan for.
Have you costed up liability insurance for your contracting?
Have you costed liability insurance for hiring equipment out?

That’d be a very good rate for here in NI for just the tractor and operator

I would say around at 300 per week and 5 euro per clock hour, tractor will be maintained by me tractor will be viewed after every 2 week and will bring someone ik who is mechanical minded to see if he can find anything wrong , for contracting yes hiring no but I’m looking into it look I’m only in the beginning of this I’m not setting it up month I’m talking a while in the future in the next year year I plan to try fine customers this year who would be interested find out what their willing to pay and work from there ,

Machine circa 25k
Saw attachment wants to be newish circa 7-8k

Better earning potential and link it into scrub clearance
and tree planting which will be coming more popular.

At 5€ per clock hour, you can sent it to mine! ..that is below cost price
I advise you to charge more than that

 

[aaronyoung]

At 5€ per clock hour, you can sent it to mine! ..that is below cost price

Plus 300 a week so that’s 400 a week if you do 20 hours

, how much would you say is fair ?

 

[ollandroverman]

Plus 300 a week so that’s 400 a week if you do 20 hours

That is an unusual way to charge
It is normally per clock hour, or more commonly per week. Never both at the same time

 

[aaronyoung]

It’s fairer is it not because the man has to pay a standard price and depending on how much he uses it it cost him more , what’s your thoughts?

 

[ollandroverman]

If you are pricing your tractor at €10 with you driving it, you would at the very least need €10 per hour, realistically more because it will be treat worse by a a hire driver
