You are right about the payments, but may not be right about the fuel (on a consumption per acre basis). I know I had 164 acres of barley custom seeded with a JD 9300 (tripled up) and a 54 foot seed hawk airseeder. Seeded straight into last years unworked winter wheat stubble. I pay on a per acre plus fuel basis. The fuel worked out to 2 litres per acre (actually a bit less) or in other words 1/2 gal. US per acre. This amounts to less than 1/2 the fuel if I did it. My time to do it with my equipment is worth $400, $200 less fuel was used and moisture was saved. No hours put on my equipment. But then the novelty of tractor seat time wore off for me many years ago. If I happen to crave seat time there's a seat on my lawn tractor.
