35+ Vat, but my ground is challenging to say the least so you wont make headway. probably ploughing output about 70% of good conditions and thats for a nice few acres, av field about 6 - 8ac

I usually charge €40/acre inc VAT which is pretty much the same thing. Have heard of a couple of guys charging €30 inc VAT in the last couple of weeks, at that rate it would be better value to sell the plough and get them to do it for me. How they expect to make money is beyond me.

I would say 70% is being optimistic down that side of the country
