I see you're in Maine, and I don't know what the price range is up there but I do a lot of that work down here. On equipment, you need to make sure they don't want belly pans pulled before you give them a price. As far as loaders go, they're fairly easy to do with the exception of the pivots in the middle. I would charge around $85.00 for a loader and about $125.00 for a track-hoe excavator. Hardest thing about track-hoes is cleaning the rails the tracks ride on which in most cases still isn't very bad. As far as drilling rigs go, if you're talking about oil drilling and not water, CHARGE BY THE HOUR, believe me they will pay it. The only thing about the oil-field is you will probably wait 60 day minimum to get paid and up to 120. Whatever you do, do not leave home without degreaser and a few turbo-tips. And bring a few because you do not want to be stuck somewhere without one if one breaks. Need any additional info my email is lapressureservice@yahoo.com
