Quick question...What does a small macro usually rent for per hour? Not heavy work--just clearing some brush (no trees) for a 4 x 30 meter track.

I've seen the macro and it is small--maybe a 36" square bucket...

The macro man reckons the job will take less than a day and he has other work very close by so maybe I'm catching a break here. I know what a large macro charges per day so all I need is a ballpark figure...

We had a pond made deeper and the guy charged us 1,200 baht per hour. He was very good. Maybe because my wife watched his every move.

Thanks Maize and Gary. That's about what the larger Komatsu (PC120-200) rents for around here but all those are unavailable and a bit of overkill for my needs.

The one I saw yesterday was a smaller PC 30 but the operator didn't know what the owner charges per hour...

I paid 500 per hour for 1/2 to 1 day for a small macro (no idea of model, but came on a small trailer) last year, but for less than this I'd have to pay time for mob/demob (i.e. 1 extra hour). (now around 600/hr). A couple of years ago my gf's father rented a large macro & truck to extend a pond and use the dirt to raise some other land (which the macro then levelled). Cost was just 10,000 lump sum and took about 2.5 days,

I got the job done last week with the PC 30 macro. 2 full days for 6000 baht. He even removed a huge tree that looked impossible with that small an excavator...

It WAS impossible with a PC30. Obviously the owner wasn't the operator. I look the other way when we remove small trees with a B50.......

BTW we charge 600B/hr for this mini excavator, the going rate in the Surin area.
