Hiring man with digger

DJ98 · 2020-05-17 13:47:53

What sort of money do people charge to hire out a digger and driver, looking to tidy up ditches here on the farms, ones that have fallen down over years and now want to build them back up. Do lads charge by the hour or day mostly?

How many hours with a 13tonne machine would it take to clean 400 yards of drain that's fairly badly closed in, and dig 200 yards of a new drain in boggy ground that would be easy dug.? Trying to figure out what it would cost to try an improve a small bit of bog ground and more importantly would it be worth my while!!

Allow between 700-1000 and you should be covered

Needed a digger on the farm last year, paid 40 plus vat per hour. Know the man fairly well though and used him years ago as well. I think he usually charges 45 plus vat per hour. Get a good experienced operator anyway.

Had a man earlier this year breaking out a hedge for me to make a gate. Cost me €80.
