So thirsty then, 20l an hour to pull a trailer that's empty half the time.
Around here A 140 tractor is 50 an hour if the hp of that valtra is needed tractor min 70 euro per hourUnder £50 /hr for a tractor of that value is losing money . The choice is yours.
Tractor wouldnt get an hrs work around here if that was your rate. I would buy an extra one if i could find a neighbour willing to pay it.Most modern tractors are £10 in depreciation, add on servicing at £2 per hour, tyres at £2 per hour and say 15l diesel at 60ppl per hour so that's another £10. Add in a man at £15 and there's your £39 before profit.

What should I be charging per hour for a 234 valtra and man (230 horsepower) with my own fuel, to pull someone's 18 ton silage trailer on grass.

Not really, i was carting silage with a 1135 fastrac and 16t trailer last week. If my trailer was full at bottom of field. The 800hp chopper had other trailer full before i was out of gate, just a 25 acre field. The 220hp tractor behind was lapping me.Over kill that size tractor ant'it?
how many acres are you reckoning an hour and at what cost per acre?When you take the hrs on the clock that you don't get paid for you definitely need £ 50 for the paid hrs to break even. Put tripple mowers on it and you will get £250/hr.
It’s approximately an hour from here to Doncaster airport, Taxi is around £50.00.
And that’s in a 3 year old Ford Mondeo with 100 + thousand miles on the clock.
Never have understood the tractor hire rates.
It is, and fudge all technology in it compared to the £100,000 tractor.exactly get rich quicker driving a taxi!
a 5 year old mondeo fine for this job,(no twin beacons required either) investment vs return looks much more appealing
And a new set of tyres will cost a couple of hundred not a couple of thousand.exactly get rich quicker driving a taxi!
