What to charge for hire of power harrow

[tr250]

Neighbor hired a power harrow off us a while back for a few days. How much is acceptable to charge not looking to get rich just enough to cover wear and tare tines etc

There's some fields you wouldn't go near with your own power harrow, yet some farmers think its fine to borrow or hire someone elses equipment to go smashing brickbats and cobbles around. Made that mistake when we lent our power harrow and it came back with bigger shear bolts in the cartridge than it had before.

That ones a Lely , actually not a bad machine for the money , but 10mm bolts is a weakness , 12mm will be better

4m don’t want to earn anything out of it just don’t want to loose out as I’m guessing a new set of tines have taken a price hike since I last bought any. It’s not a machine we use a lot these days

Is it 3m and does it have a packer or crumbler roller?

It's 3m with a crumbler , which I was going to swap for a packer , but tbf makes a good finish
Saying that we have to ph our ground twice to get a decent seedbed
