Tractor and chipper rates

[Tom M]

Hi all looking at getting a crane/chipper like the pic below,just wondering what people would charge per hour for 120hp tractor + chipper and operator cheers

€100-110

What size chipper ? 12inch ? 
will you charge mileage to and from site or will that be averaged out and factored into your hourly rate. ? Id imagine you’d want £900 plus vat a day give or take.  So I’d say the comment above is pretty fair.

I'd say it all depends how much a bigger tractor and heizo is per day as would most likely be a lot more productive and depend what chipper you run, the chip be worth more out of the heizo too

Do you already have the tractor and just adding the crane and chipper?

Think it’s 10 inch and was thinking of averaging it out into hourly rate,that depending on mileage tho

Are you running red or white, as I'm guessing you're needing 35-50 litres per hour?

Red

I'd probably guess around 130-150 an hour as you'll have to factor in repairs and maintenance of tractor and chipper.

 

Do you have the tractor already tho as a chipper is going to be around 50k probably even for a used and abused one. Not sure what fuelwood has in at the moment.
