    I need a bit of a field moved about to fill in a hole or two.
    Dozer work, not digger.

    How much per hour?

    Thanks

    what?

    I though maybe 300 or 400 at absolute most.

    that knocks that on the head!

    What? A 360 is €45/ hr a big dung spreader and loader is €75+ per hour. The dozer driver is more important than the price. A bad driver can do some harm in 10 minutes.

    Remember a dozer in the right hands can do the work of 3 track machines depending on what required

    Neighbour bought a run down rough farm. He got sick looking at the 360's and brought in 2 dozers €1200 per day. 360's came back for a day or two tidying up. Super job

    A neighbour had a fella in with a d8 maybe 4 or 5 years back. Was 80/hour plus vat that time. Can't imagine it got any cheaper since.

    Dont like dozers here , rechon theres no need with the 20 ton machines.theyd pull any rock a dozer would pull and if there is a hard nub they can break it but the big thing is you can mind all the earth around the nub and clean it and you not damaging a bigpeice of a field just what yo need.i see fields taking years to come back after dozers
