You have to figure it out on a per acre basis....if a 10000 dollar planter lasts you 10 years, it's costing 1000 per year. If you plant 100 acre every year....2 days with a 4 row planter...your planter cost is 10 dollars per acre. At 5 acres per hour, for every hour you need 50 dollars to operate and fuel a 50 hp tractor..another 10 dollars per acre.
