You must be drilling dirt.  We are lucky to get 100’ some days when we are in 
cobble.

Rough number for 2 men, 1 vermeer 20x22 drill, 1 mini-x, 2 trucks, 2 trailers, 
and 1 hydrovac is about $50k a month (including materials).

My guys produce about 800ft a day of conduit and vaults on 4x10 work weeks.

This yields roughly 12000ft a month which breaks down to about $4/ft.

Once equipment is paid off, the cost is closer to $1.50-2/ft.

This is in rural subdivisions where we have to drill 100%. When we catch a 
break and can use the plow, we can knock out thousands of feet daily.

Has anyone calculated their TCO on an HDD machine?  After figuring in
the operator, maintenance, tooling/bits, etc what do you end up spending
on this?
