Fair price for tractor work

Thinking of having a local guy do some light work like discing and maybe tear up some new virgin soil for another small plot.


What do you think is fair price for such a job?


Hourly?

 

A lot of companies are getting 100/hour to do plot work. Plus the cost of seed,fertilizer,lime.

 

Yea.........no chance I am paying a guy $1,000+ to scratch up some ground. I've done the work and it's not worth that much. Not even close.

Now if he said he could have our plots completely done in 5-6 hrs then maybe. In a nice tractor that is very doable.

 

Are you supplying the tractor or are they?

 

Their machine.........just ground prep. We will lime, fert, and seed.

 

Without seeing it (access and how much land) it hard to give a quote.
