[QUOTE="lazyhill, post: 26429, member: 256"] Now I know that I am not a large commercial operator (run only 40 head total), but I don't even own a tractor. I move my hay with a truck (bale spike and I have a single bale trailer). I hire out all of my tractor work or co-op it with a friend. I can hire out all of my tractor work for A LOT LESS money than tractor payments or the hassle of an older cheap tractor that requires my time and money to maintain it. I can forsee the day I might want one just for convenience, but it would clearly be a purchase with a very long return on investment. Therefore, in your calculations, you should be computing the cost of the tractor and other equipment as a percentage of total cost based upon your percentage of use for that activity. [/QUOTE]
