4wd Tractor, driver and 8ft roller
4wd tractor, driver and 4m aerator
4wd tractor driver and 8ft topper
3ton digger & driver

and then day rate for self drive/hire of

4m aerator
3ton digger and plant trailer

hi iakill farm,
id reckon the first 3 would be best suited to per acre as they are slow jobs

what are your costs?

is that a trick question .

The digger, tractor and implements are all paid for.

So after that diesel repairs and maintainance, depreciation and driver

So diesel would be €10/€14 an hour (im guessing) and maybe €16 to cover the rest plus driver? so charge €30 an hour?

No, the starting point for any price is to know your costs.


price it allowing for replacement, maintenance, overheads, bad debts, time, etc.
