[QUOTE="Pstone, post: 43074, member: 5328"] 30 minutes travel time is not going to be more than 30 miles. 15 mpg = 2 gallons @ $4.50/gallon = $9. Half hour of skid steer running full out burns about 1/2 gallon of fuel, but we will say 1 gallon just to make things simple. That means you have spent $13.50 on fuel. Even if you figure in another $9 for return fuel, your total fuel cost there is $23.50. I dont know what actual cost of operation is on a normal skid steer. I know on a New Holland C190 (much more expensive than a standard skid steer) our 4 year avaerage is right at $6.90/hr. So we add that in and are at $30.40. That leaves you with $69.60 if you are running the skid steer yourself. That is one hell of a long ways from losing money. Again, what kind of profit margins are you guys used to pulling? [/QUOTE]
