[QUOTE="frogfarmer, post: 40061, member: 4075"] 1000 dollars for 4 months is a great deal and the $33 an hour should cover the general costs of the hourly usage. I would be very careful renting for such low rates as a major repair could eat up a couple hundred hours of use. I know times are slow but I hate to see people driving the reasonable rates in the industry well below sustainable levels. I wont take a machine to a job for less than $65 an hour. Maybe for some that seems high but I have been doing this for years and my numbers are always in the + side of the ledger. Here is something else to consider how much per hour does your auto/equipment/ag dealer charge for their time? If you dont get as much or more per hour for your skills and equipment its hard to survive. [/QUOTE]
