Several of the guys here are geting 100 or so an hour for their skid steers and mini excavators. I'd say you should be able to get around $120 an hr at least. I'd say 3-4 hours on the minimum. :IMO

Not sure where your at in Ohio, but in my area the rate varies from $65 to $80an hour. I always try to get a 4 hour minimum.

We are getting $110 an hour for our 277C's and 304C. We just bumped are rates up $10 an hour this spring due to fuel costs, no complaints yet.

450 hourly rate

Here in n/e loisiana 70. per hour is about maximum for my 450h lt and my
freinds 450g lgp. I wish we could get the rates I see other areas are getting.
A backhoe is 65. and a 9010B excavator at 85.00. I know a guy running
3 320cl cat excavators at 85.00 an hour each.
