I've got all that beat. The neighbour's dad just has to stay busy. He has a JD 410, and machine and op is $20/hr. How do you like that? Why should I even look into buying my own hoe? The only time he charges me full fare for his time is if the machine is running the whole time. My favorite time was when he combed a 15 acre hay field for boulders - he just went up and down the field, and pulled at anything that showed on the surface. It looked like stonehenge when he was done! The only problem is he doesn't have to stay busy with his machine, so it's a bit of a wait and scheduling to get him over. Can't beat it though.

I dont know an operator around here that will start one for less than $50 an hour with a 4 hr minimum plus $15 for a laborer.

It will depend on the size of the machine, and how much work it will get done in an hour. A wild guess-- $40 an hour minimum and higher.

She thought it should be free ! These things don't run for free at the price of diesel.
