kbvicar Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 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...

Maizefarmer Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Doubt you can rent for an hour - I would think it would be at least a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbvicar Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbvicar Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve73 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbvicar Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finner Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) 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.
