I charge $54 per load on 18 ft. front unload boxes. I guess that comes out to about $162 per hour or about $5 a ton. I supply fuel, tractor, chopper, 3 wagons, and blower if needed. About $80,000 total investment in equipment. If corn is drought stressed i guess i don`t do as good but my customers have been long term ones. Smaller operations that don`t need alot of tons, so it works for me and them.
What to charge neighbor for custom silage choppin?
