![]() Your production rate downhill with an average push of 200' should be at least 150 cubic yards per hour and quite possibly quite a bit more if you stick to slot dozing. Your fuel consumption will probably not exceed 7 gallons per hour. Actually your rental rates may be considerably lower as our climate dictates about a 9 month period per year in which most dirt work can take place, so our rental companies must charge more per month to account for the winter season. a D6 for two days of pushing and I think that the D6 is by far the correct choice for this scale of project.Ī D6R rental for a week should be around $3100. ![]() Add to that the cost of mobilizing a D8 vs. Also, time wise you will bury you compactor with a D8, or spend so much time leveling so your compactor can get over it that the efficiency of the D8 will be wasted. 100' by 100' by 12' is only 4444 cubic yards add maybe 20% for slopes and contingency and you are still only at 5555 cubic yards. This economic example will not work for your project however, as the yardage is considerably less. The company I rent from charges the weekly rate for up to 44 hours, and then the weekly rate divided by 44 for extra hours. ![]() Rent was $5333.33 per week, fuel usage was 13 gallons per hour, and I worked 66 hours total. I did not have to meet any compaction standard. This did not include any overhead, insurance, or daily mileage on support vehicle. I did 21000 cy yards of bony material measured in the cut, pushing up an average of about a 5% grade into a deep depression with the longest push of 350' last year with a rented D8T $1.14 per cubic yard and cleared roughly $8800 after fuel, rent, and wages $30.00 per hour mobilization was charged separately.
