Calculate repair and maintenance cost for tractors, combines, planters, sprayers, tillage tools, balers, trucks, and other farm equipment. Estimate annual repair budget, maintenance cost per hour, cost per acre, parts, labor, service, downtime, and total equipment upkeep cost.
Annual repair cost:
The calculator estimates annual repair cost from equipment value and annual repair rate, then compares it with entered parts and service costs.
Cost per hour:
Total annual repair and maintenance cost is divided by annual use hours.
Cost per acre:
Total annual repair and maintenance cost is divided by annual acres covered.
Job repair cost:
The calculator estimates a field or job cost from hourly repair cost and job hours.
A repair and maintenance cost calculator helps estimate the true upkeep cost of farm machinery beyond fuel, depreciation, and labor.
It can help compare repair budgets, machinery ownership decisions, custom rates, field operation costs, service records, and annual equipment expenses.
Your result shows estimated annual repair cost, entered maintenance cost, adjusted total maintenance cost, cost per hour, cost per acre, job repair cost, downtime cost, parts cost, labor cost, and contingency. These are estimates based on the values you enter.
Estimate annual repair cost as a percent of equipment value, then add parts, shop labor, fluids, filters, wear parts, service costs, downtime, and contingency.
Divide total annual repair and maintenance cost by annual machine hours. For example, $8,000 per year divided by 400 hours equals $20 per hour.
Divide total annual repair and maintenance cost by annual acres covered. For example, $8,000 per year divided by 1,200 acres equals $6.67 per acre.
Common items include parts, oil, filters, belts, chains, bearings, tires, blades, labor, service calls, shop supplies, inspections, downtime, and unexpected repairs.
