I did get a bunch but most are newbies. The expensive guy knew what core trenching was. I'm going to wait for the first guy that was going to do it for 5500. It may never get done though since he's always busy. I'm still looking for a used machine though regardless.
That $5,500 is way high for what shouldn't take more than three days. Even assuming 10 hour days, that's $183 dollars per hour. Most around here are about $90 per hour for a medium dozer about the size of a Cat D5 or Case 650.
