6 ton excavator per hour/ dumper per hour

kay 9

Hi folks. Have been asked to do bit of work with the machine by a neighbour but don't know what the rates are these days. There is about 2 days work in it. Levelling out a bit of rough ground and burying stones. Nothing too technical really. Might need the dumper also. So rates for just machine would be great and machine and dumper. Thanks all.

25-30 euros an hour for the track machine. break it down, 10-15 euros for the driver, 5-10 euros for diesel , then some for insurance and wear and tear.

You would want similar for the dumper.
Any contractor sending out a tractor on hire normally gets 30-35 euros an hour plus vat. any less and they are making no profit

That's the "going rate" - the going bust rate. We charge 38.00 an hour for a man - no machine. Do the math. Most contractors are bust, because they charge the "going (bust) rate". You have your own price, it's yours, no-one elses. It's what you need to get for your time, plus the hire of the machine, plus diesel, depreciation, insurance, tax, a profit etc. No-one else can tell you your price and no-one elses price is your price. Feck the "going rate" - work out your own "need to get price" and quote it. They either take it or leave it. The "going rate" is the greatest load of codswallop ever invented.

6ton digger and driver is €120 per day up here, well we got a guy up north and its was 100stg,(€120) he was using fathers digger and very good worker and nice clean job done,

there is another guy thats charges €30 per hour but no one gets him but suppose when your able to get another guy that does the job just as good and at a much cheaper price then why would you.

They're welcome to it at that pricing. How do they pay for diesel, wear and tear, insurance and an operator for 120 a day. Not negative towards you yeller just can't make mathematical sense of it.

Honestly i dont know and didnt ask, we just wanted the cheapest price,we heard about him from word of mouth and all good reports, he was 6 days with us and we give him 600stg. Were very happy with work done.

Just out of of interest , how much diesel would it take to run a hitachi ex60 for 8 hours, would 5 gallons run it ?

depends on how hard ya work them and which version it is. I generally burn 9-12 gallons a day. Have a ted 20 here and she would burn 5 gallons a day easy.
