Randy, Would like to be able to do that but just cant. He is a Amish machinery dealer and this model planter is highly desireable in his area. Just looked up on mapquest location of planter and it is 110 mile one way or a 220 mile round trip. and Map quest says 2 hours 15 minutes, that actually would be 3 hours one way. And then he is 60 mile away a different direction that I would have to do a second day. I figure I would have around $75 just in fuel and I just cannot subsidise his bussiness. For his own use would be different than for resale. I would need to make something as proffit to be able to afford to do it. I know he could get one of the commercial truckers to do it and the route they would take would probably be 275 mile so at commercial truckers rates of I hear $3.00 a mile would be what $850. His cost would be more than resale value of the planter. Would $.50 or $.75 be a reasonable figure per mile? Thinking more like the $.75. As I would have wear and tear on my outfit. plus fuel and 2 days of my time. Would $1.00 be better? Just hate to see something they would like to have go to scrap.
