Recently purchased a 74hp CTL; 10,800lbs with an operating capacity of 2,600lbs.
I've used many skid steers over the years but this is the first purchased, trying to figure out the cost of ownership. I recognize of course this depends on the application and rate of depreciation, but I'm sure most of you have a number in mind of what it costs per hour, something to base a rate off of. What are factors you include in this calculation?
My first guesstimate before getting into it is roughly $50/hr, considering fuel, fluids, undercarriage, upkeep, depreciation, but no labor.
Would love to hear your thoughts and wisdom!
Thanks,
-Josh
