With some learning you will figure out what it will take you in hours to complete projects thats all part of learning. If I do the job in half the time I am cheaper though. If I charge $140/hour for my JD 750 and you charge $80 for your D5 it might sound good.
#D7 DOZER HIRE RATE HOW TO#
You need to figure out how to estimate jobs and give people figures on what you think the total project will cost not the hourly rate. Don't kid yourself it costs you something to move your equipment. Most contractors charge mobilization which would mean you charge to move equipment in and out but if you are only there an hour you would not get burned on your mobilization cost. Also you can do it however you want of charging a minimum or whatever if you are building your cost of moving machine into your hourly rate. Many guys don't understand the importance of liability insurance and making a One Call when you are in the dirt business.

Make sure you have good liability coverage and call in a locator service on every job, no matter what the landowner tells you.

#D7 DOZER HIRE RATE FULL#
As a new operator always keep the blade full and do not let your tracks slip, if they are you are not a maximum efficiency. Plus I charge by the machine hr, not the clock which also makes a difference. Depending on the condition of your machine it will probably cost you $40 per machine hr just to own it. I have a $350 min as I farm and only do this part time. If you have to haul or drive your machine to the job, you need to charge accordingly. Most people can't believe how much dirt you can move in an hour with a smaller machine. Just realize newer dozers have more power and are much quicker. Have a D3 and and 5M.I charge $125 per hr for the 3 and $150 for the 5. Posted 08:16 (#5740574 - in reply to #5740393) Subject: RE: rate per hour for D5 dozer with newer operator?
Posted 06:44 (#5740393 - in reply to #5740382) Subject: RE: rate per hour for D5 dozer with newer operator? I know I am not a seasoned operator so what would be a fair rate per hour to charge? I would like to pick up a little side work to help pay for it. I purchased a 1974 D5 dozer with 10 foot blade that I have been using around the farm for about a year clearing trees, building crossings, fixing pond dams, etc. Posted 06:36 (#5740382) Subject: rate per hour for D5 dozer with newer operator?
