1 Farm Machinery and Rental Guide

2 Farm Machinery and Rental Guide The surest way to reach a business goal is to plan on it. Successful Manitoba farmers are focused business people. They have clear, flexible, short and long term business plans and they monitor their plans regularly. Whether you re starting, growing or passing along your business, you need a solid business plan. Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives (MAFRI) can help you build a plan for success. Farm machinery makes up a significant part of the fixed and variable costs for any farm operation. The Farm Machinery and Rental Guide can help estimate these costs and provide the information you need to maximize farm profitability. Use this guide to help you prepare your plan for success.

5 Introduction This guide provides estimated costs for renting equipment or getting custom farming services from another farmer. It is not intended to set rates for individuals or companies that rent equipment or contract custom farming services as a business. The guide helps: 1) recommend a fair price for both parties when one farmer either rents a piece of equipment from another farmer or hires the other to do a farming service (ex: seeding, spraying, harvesting). In this situation, the operation is needed for only a short time 2) set a value on machinery and/or farming services provided to each operation when machinery and/or farm operations are being shared by farmers Note: Every situation is different, so this guide provides general information only. Make sure you consider all of your business s needs and related costs before agreeing to buy or rent machinery or operations. The Farm Machinery and Rental Guide is also available as an online calculator at If you need help using this guide, contact your local Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives Growing Opportunities (GO) Office. Method One of the keys to setting a rental rate is defining the cost of equipment ownership, including: equipment value financing depreciation repairs and maintenance of ownership has been reduced to the cost of servicing debt and loss in machine value due to depreciation from hours of use and years in service. Operating costs include repair and maintenance (ex: broken and worn parts, oil, filters and labour for repair and service), fuel use, housing and insurance. There are also labour costs and a margin to cover unexpected incidentals and specific conditions that affect work rate. Assumptions Some factors are bound to change in every situation, so the cost estimates in this guide are based on certain assumptions. In all cases, it is assumed that rented machinery is in good repair and can do the intended work as capably and productively as similar machines of equal specification, ratings or category, regardless of age. Equipment value The first assumption is setting the initial value, based upon the average suggested list price for a machine suitably equipped for the crops and conditions in the particular area where it is being used. The purchase price used is based on the average of the base list price and the list price for that machine with all available options. INTRODUCTION 3

6 Introduction Finance cost It has been assumed that 50 per cent of the initial price refl ects the value of a trade-in and/or a cash payment with the remaining 50 per cent financed. The finance rate is based upon one per cent opportunity costs associated with the 50 per cent not financed and an average of Farm Credit Canada (FCC) rates (5.5 per cent) for the 50 per cent balance financed. A combined total of 6.5 per cent interest is amortized over a reasonable payback period of 10 years, assuming the purchase has been added to a balance already owed. Depreciation After the first year of use, most machinery usually depreciates at a fairly consistent rate over the next 10 to 15 years. Over that time, about two-thirds of its useful life will have been used. This two-thirds of useful life is referred to in this guide as the optimal life. It represents the number of years equipment is owned until it depreciates to one-third of its value. A machine s useful life depends on many factors and may vary greatly in years and hours. The end of its useful life is when the cost of repairs exceeds its market value. Maintenance and repair Each machine s optimal life is usually measured in hours. Routine maintenance such as oil, lubricants and filters, as well as component wear or damage, is associated with hours of use regardless of when they occur over its life. Early in its life, repairs due to component failure are not usually as high as they are later in the machinery s life. Still, repair expenses will occur. Averaging the lifetime cost, on a per hour basis, provides a fair distribution of the repair costs. For this guide, the average yearly basic maintenance and repairs have been added to what would be considered a major repair during the equipment s optimal life. These costs are divided by the hours accumulated over its optimal life. Note: Average repair and maintenance costs do not include unusual events caused by extreme conditions, abuse or accident. Fuel cost Fuel costs depend on market price and can change dramatically. The diesel fuel price is charged at $0.94 per litre, based on the provincial fuel tax exemption for eligible farmers and custom operators. The five per cent Goods and Services Tax (GST) was deducted, based on allowable business deductions for fuel. Any power unit s fuel use is highly dependent on the load (percentage of available power being used) and duty cycle (percentage of time at particular loads). To calculate the cost based on fuel efficiency, a 75 per cent load is assumed. For alternative loads, fuel use can be calculated by using the charts in Appendix F. The selection of the power unit and the operating conditions (ex: yield, moisture, soil type, terrain) will also affect fuel use. This means that, for similar tasks, there can be a wide variation in fuel cost. For this reason, it is fair if the renter supplies or buys fuel separately from the rental rate. A fuel cost estimate has been included, based on typical use and should be only used as a ballpark figure for fuel costs. Work rate Instant work rates are easily calculated, based on the machinery s working width and its travel speed. However, in all field operations, there is a difference between the instant work rate and the average work rate accomplished over several hours. This is referred to as field efficiency. Field efficiency can vary greatly, depending on work conditions (ex: field size and shape, soil or crop conditions, suitability of the equipment for the task and availability of support equipment). For this guide, a field efficiency of 80 per cent has been applied to all tasks. Refer to the work rate table in Appendix G. 4 FARM MACHINERY CUSTOM AND RENTAL RATE GUIDE

7 Introduction Insurance and housing Equipment owners should carry suitable insurance against accidental damage and for liability. Suitable housing is also a reasonable measure for maintaining equipment value and performance. These costs have been set at one per cent of the machinery s original purchase price. Labour rate The labour rate has been set at $20 per hour. It is intended only as a refl ection of the labour market in western Canada. This rate is arbitrary and will vary, depending on availability and the individual s experience and skills. Margin When performing custom farming services, conditions can be unpredictable. To account for unexpected cost increases caused by difficult situations, it is customary to include a margin onto the estimated custom rate. This margin has been arbitrarily set at 15 per cent. For machinery rental, the margin is applied to the machine cost. For custom rates, it has also been applied to labour and fuel. Using the Guide Per acre rate Equipment rental or custom operation hourly rates are based on the total of all yearly costs, divided by the average number of hours of use. The hourly rate multiplied by the field efficient work rate (percentage of instant work rate expressed as a decimal) yields a cost per acre rate. The acre rate is often used because it fixes the renter s cost and allows the owner/operator to adjust the service to the conditions. This may mean either going slower to minimize machinery damage and operator stress in difficult conditions or going faster in favorable conditions, without losing revenue. Hours of use impact When machinery is shared between co-operating farmers, a cost often must be assigned for the use of each machine to define the value of its contribution. In previous guides, the yearly hours of use have greatly influenced the hourly rate. When yearly costs are divided by a low number of hours of use, the hourly rate increases significantly. Increased hours of use reduce the hourly rate. This method tends to inflate the difference because it does not include the effect on residual value which is often determined by the machine s total hours. The difference in retained value must be taken into account to make a fair evaluation. INTRODUCTION 5
