75-90 a hour is cheap ! , in Texas we charge by the job something like this would cost about $800 on the cheap side but good video bro 👍

I just did a 4’x35’x35’ pad and charged $950. All my friends made fun of me for being “the cheap guy”. Less than $100 an hr isn’t sustainable for these expensive machines. I quote $125 an hr with $150 for transport. A little more for commercial work.

Those prices are great. Renting one of these for an hour I think is about 500. I would gladly pay 800 to 900 to have this done.

[@jrh2536]

Heck yeah. Getting paid watch time on videos like these. Great information and tips.

Does top soil exist in the desert?

[@chrisstinson3270]

Is a tractor a piece of equipment that can accomplish this same result. Its the only equipment i have available and i would like to know if i could us it for my project

[@ExcavationRevelation]

Potentially, but it really depends on the material. A Skidsteer will have more break out force, so if the material is rocky or real tight a tractor will struggle.

What’s chill?

[@bonusking1224]

$75-$90 an hour? That seems super cheap. Have you worked out your hourly cost?

[@ExcavationRevelation]

It depends on the market in your area. At the time of this video those prices were working out for me, but I am slightly higher now

[@chickenjoe1003]

So you contradict yourself by saying you dont want to use top soil as a base but then you say take from your high spots and put in your low 😂

[@ExcavationRevelation]

Once the topsoil is removed, you cut the high spots and fill in the low. No contradiction. Sorry if it wasn't clear.
