I'm doing what you are thinking of doing..

 

 

 

I got a transit van with ramps, cut down the weight alot, using aluminium frame.

 

I charge 290 for 8 hours of work, thats with a predator 38 rx and myself.

 

with that 8 hours you get me working non stop without taking a break, and i will do my very best to make sure i do a good job.

 

 

 

In that price i take away 150 pounds for diesel for van, teeth, petrol, and putting by money for breakdowns in future.

 

 

 

You need to literally double your day rate.

I didn't say ow't because I know nowt of your trade, but £290/day with a machine that must cost ££££s don't seem like enough money.

[Stefan Palokangas]

ok point made, my day rate is to low. i wish the machine was just 15k tho they are a bit higher new price.

Mate of mines day rate is 500 minimum

No way I would sub in a man and machine in for £500, I pay £300+VAT for a day and £175+VAT for half day. I would not expect 8 hours with no breaks mind.

 

£500 direct to the customer may be achievable, but seems very high to me, many two man gangs with truck and chipper, are not charging that.

That's to customer, we have our own machine so pay nothing.

If you think that your kidding yourself.
