Contractor Processor?

[Jontyboy]

Hi i have a wp36 mobile processor which goes out on hire with 2 operators £220 a day i live in durham we do a lot of processing for biomass at 60cm so not a problem. [email protected]

Not to knock you but how do you ever make money at £220 a day with two operators? Fuel, oils, chains will take that £20 off. Then the cost of owning and maintaining the processor, owning, taxing, insuring and using the tow vehicle. Good luck if it works for you but must be slim pickings. Appreciate it's regional but near me in SE it'd be £350 a day.

Was thinking exactly the same! That'd be my labour charge only for 2 men or machine & 1 man

TBH I'm not bothered what anyone thinks of my rates.....unless of course you're a customer of mine, a lad who works for me or my accountant.

 

We charge about the same. No point in asking the earth and getting no work.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the replies!

 

We got sorted and Billy and Steve have just left after a lot of hard work today. Billy's Farmi WP36 handled everything we threw at it. Everybody got stuck in and we got through a great amount.

wouldn't dream of going out on £220 a day, honestly can't get my head round some of the prices

Yeah nice to see they got a good deal and job done from posting here. It's surprising how many people are around who can do a job when you post.

Todays job for Mike. I'd like to take the credit for the neat stacking but that was Mike and his wife!
