Hourly Rate for Dozer and Scraper Combo

[clansing1]

We have a TD-20G LGP (52,000 lbs. & 230 HP) that we pull a Cat 435 Scraper with. I believe the scraper has a 14 cu. yd. struck and a 17-18 yd. heaped capacity. We charge $140/HR for the dozer by itself. What would be the going rate for this combo?

Do I charge the same rate with the scraper combo since I'm not burning as much fuel, less track wear and tear since I'm only going forward, etc.? Also, most scraper jobs are longer duration 4-5 days, where a bulldozer only job is 1-2 days. There is more mobilization and set up time with the scraper combo.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

well you need to account for wear and tear on the scraper, and the cost of the scraper, and scraper transport. I'd try for $175 an hour with a scraper if your getting 140 for just the dozer.
