The cost per hour is important, the quality of the person on the Dozer may be more important. A good operator can do more and cleaner than a not so good operator.

That is not a bad price. My father in law has been running the family business for 30+ years doing dirt work. His business will not stop for that small of a job anymore unless he was next to you such as this guy is. If the guy is good at what he does he should be able to finish the job quite quickly. That hour rate will include his fuel etc so not a bad deal really. About $15/hr more than my father in law would charge on that size of dozer but then again he does not take on a job that small unless it is right next to a job he is presently working on.

Paid $125/hour is Wisconsin. I agree with what the others are saying, if he is already doing a good job for the neighbor I would have him do it.
Side note, I paid a friend what ended up being about $60 per hour + fuel ($40 for the dozer, $20 for him) to do some work on the same property. He was using a smaller machine and does not do it for a living. If I had to do it all over again I would have paid the $125. Not that my buddy did a bad job, the other guy just did a way better job and a lot faster. Also when my friend was doing it I wasn't there to tell him what I wanted, so he was sort of winging it. I think he probably would have done more if I was there to tell him what I wanted.Last edited by Kdog; 04-04-2018, 03:12 PM.
