| I use to do some custom shelling for a couple neighbors and I never charged for using my cart & tractor as I figured it was improving my productivity but I was hauling to a bin with it. In affect you are trucking for him so I think a nominal charge would be in order. My thoughts would be to look at trucking costs & work something out from that, say 50-60% of short haul trucking.
In your situation unless you have two carts you are going to be sitting waiting for the cart to get back if it has to make a mile trip loaded to the bin, 20 minutes to unload, & another mile trip back to the field plus getting to the combine & back to the end to head to the field
If you have a yield monitor that has been calibrated fairly close I would run off it's wet bushels. keeping track by the load you'll have to mark down every load, can get confusing & easy to forget to mark a load. | |
