Anybody hired a dozer lately? A family member used another family members older dozer to do some work at the farm. The man on the dozer is getting $30/hr. Now they're trying to determine what the dozer is worth. Any ideas?

The value of the dozer comes into play here, if its old, clumsy and not very fast, get what ever you can, If it is newer, then go to the nearest dealer and check rates for that size machine. Daily rate for a 15,000 lb machine would be about 800.00, x3 for a week, and 3x week rate for month.

Rates are important for sure but skill can make or break a deal. Just got done with our driveway 3/4 mile long. Cut the sides back to channel the run off and crown the road. Brought in clay gravel then topped with the oversize gravel. $13,000 total and he came in with both trackhoe and a small dozer. The difference is amazing.
I would look for references before brought them in.

It was a Grandson using his Grandpa's very old small dozer doing work for his Uncle. Mixed up deal. They don't want full price for the use of the dozer, just something. They can work it out I guess. Thanks for the replies.

In that case I would say buy him a case of his favorite beer and call it good.

We just had an outfit come and tear down an old house and barn. They burned and buried everything. They charged a $180 an hour each for a track-hoe and bucket dozer. $80 and hour for a large skid loader.
