How much to charge for woodchipper?

I have just purchased a used Timberwolf 150.  My question is how much do you guys allow on your rates for the running costs/future replacement.  I've always hired in and added a small percentage for myself where the job allows.  I don't want to be one of those new starts that gets 4 years down the road and can't afford to replace my knackered gear!

 

Thanks in advance

We don't do other stuff alongside chipping but I base costings on cost of chipper plus finance, minus sale value after 5 years divided by total days used. If it's a new machine I add a couple of grand to the price to cover minor repairs then just add on insurance, blades and fuel.

 

E.g. 25k x 1.2 - 10k + 2k / 250 (days) plus running costs. That's just made up costs for a big chipper. I tend to do hourly costs though.
