Prob a sore subject as its very similar to chipper and man etc etc

 

But if it's not something you do day in day out what do you charge per hr. mine has got a lot of work past few months but then it might not go out the shed for a month. mine was an old machine so I priced it at £40/hr. is that cheap??

 

I'm only asking so please don't be offended.

never really thought of an hourly rate, always price on stump....

 

Maybe subbing yourself out with it then hourly rate... :001_smile:

 

And it wants to be up there at 40 an hour! if not a tad more :)

a jcb & driver is only £25/£30+vat an hr & ther £50k machines ,

 

A jcb and driver will more than likely do more than a couple of hours on a site at a time. If you called one up and asked him to do an hours work 30 miles away I bet he'd want more than £30+ vat.

Hello,

I'm cheeky with small individual jobs but when I price a day of grinding for an 27hp pedestrian machine I try for around 480euros inc.t.v.a

£50 or 60euros per hour) inc v.a.t

I'm in it for a profit and to advance the business, I'd be robbing my future otherwise.

Exactly all the jcb drivers I know would not even turn up for less than £150's worth of work, it's not worth the time driving there.

To add...

I try to charge a minimum of 150euros and never EVER give an hourly rate to a client.

So when I did 3 gardens here in town the other day it was 150+150+100 for 2.5hours work alone and I drove the grinder between clients too!

Wish every day was like that...:thumbup:

Here, a mini-digger up to 2.8t is 60 per hour or 480euros+ for a day and the 15t machine and driver we hired to rag out some proper meaty stumps and bury them in a farmers slurry pit was 75euros per hour with travel charged at time in each case.

Out there in Central Brittany there are ex-pats running mini-diggers up to 2.8ton from just 195euros per day+... but not for long I'll warrant:thumbdown:
