Even if your neighbor has insurance, call diggers hotline or similar to locate all utilities and etc that are underground. One tiny mistake can end up costing thousands if not more. Also take into account the operators skills. Something that would take a seasoned operator 2 hrs @ $150/hr might end up taking a lesser skilled operator 6hrs+ @ $75/hr. First, start out by asking how much your neighbor would charge. If he doesnt know, you probably wouldnt get laughed at if you offered $50-75/hr for a wheeled machine in decent condition (530 or older 580 case for ex.) but expect to pay more. Another thing to consider is what kind of work it is. Digging a hole/trench, uprooting trees, pulling up concrete slabs can all come with different price tags. The same can be said about the soil. I charge more or less per hour depending on the job based upon how much extra wear and tear is put on my machine.
