[DigDug]

I do most work by bid . But if someone ask for a hourly price its $100hr. with a 580. I'm in southern Maine.

 

[humboldt deere]

Way up north california prices are $80-$100 for a 580 size machine.

 

[tuney443]

For my 410G--$105 per hour for now,maybe more soon with diesel climbing.

If it has a motor and a seat and costs less then $100,000 then $125/hr
If it has a motor and I hold it in my hand then $125/hr
If it does not have a motor and I hold it in my hand then $125/hr
That said anyone out there need any work done?




I thought so maybe I will just sit back and watch some TV.

I like your attitude Dwan.:thumbsup I do however, have a hard time to believe your sitting around watching TV. Its about time to get paid to sweep up all that sand that you got paid to put down last winter isn't it?:cool2

Sure is but the rain has slowed things down a bit. so far I have put in a little under 200 hours sweeping and figure I am about 1/2 way through with spring cleanup. Then comes replacing the stripes we sanded off during the winter.
I just bought a inferred heater to repair potholes and man is that taking off. (it works great). Just what I needed was another job LOL. But it keeps me out of the house, and with out electricity going from $.11/KWH to a little over $.55/KWH this month I need to find something to occupy my spare time.
Snow level dropped back down to 1500 ft yesterday and we had a little on the windshield.
I have about 300 tons of parking lot sweepings for sale. Any takers? The last 15 tons came from around the Alaska Brewing co. and smells like hops.

 

[Lashlander]

Yup, I was right. I heard you had a little problem with your powerline. We had snow here yesterday. Didn't stay to long. I've still got a couple feet in my yard though. Its time to knock it off.

 

[dilligas]

how I do it

Day1- $500 for 1/2 day $1000 for a full day.
Day2 or more - $400/ $800

Day1 pays for time to haul and fuel etc...

Oh, and I rather use my mini than a 580 any time. Been there done that. Faster, easyier to haul gets into tight spaces, does not tear up the surrounding area w/ out riggers, grades with the floating dozer blade..

Now, if you'd said something about "optimizing asset utilization in order to realize maximum return on capital investment", we'd all have known what you meant.

OK, is your side line attorney or investment broker? This is funny and true.

Put my name down Graham, I'll trade the duck in tomorrow....NOT! :Banghead

And guys are probably greatful for the work. We are our own worse enemies in this business but it takes a big man to say no I aint working for that and park the machine. You and I both know somebody else will fall over themselves to put a machine in your place.

Nope. Too honest. But I can sure sling it, can't I?
