That's less than $250 each so if you put 100 hrs a year on them doing custom work that'd be $2.50 an hour,not much in my opinion hardly be a make or break price figure on custom
work.Of course the big thing is how much you paid for the tractor in the first place.I buy cheap tractors like my Long 460 I do some custom brush hogging with paid $1100 for it back in 2001,have only changed filters and oil in it.Did buy a nice canopy that came with a Hesston parts tractor valued it at $200.Use an Allis Chalmers 6ft pull type cutter
I paid $400 for, tractor uses around 1.5 gal hr fuel.Did put a set of tires on the rear from a 1250 Oliver parts tractor that cost me $500 so I have less than $2,000 in the whole
rig
which is less than $200/year for ownership so far.I charge $50 hr to cut which is mostly horse pastures that only have some weeds growing.So even if I figured $20 hr for
up keep,fuel,original cost,etc I'm still doing pretty good I figure a lot more than I'll make with that rig doing work on my own farm for sure. Plus I do work with it on my farm too.Bought a Long 445 last Fall for $600 for back up to the 460 have spent about $250 getting it up and running ready to use.
