So I haul my hay to some of the people who buy it from me and I usually have just charged $75 a ton to deliver it plus the cost per ton of the hay. But I was just wondering if that was fair price for delivering it or was i charging too much? So if some one would please lead me in the right direction that would be much obliged

 

If people are paying you, than it's fair. I think it sounds fair. But I really don't have any knowledge of delivery prices. Are you loading and unloading too? If so, than I think that's a very food price for your customers.

 

Yes I am loading and unloading mostly by hand too but i like doing it by hand keeps me in shape that way LOL. I just was thinking tonight while i was doing my recipes and was thinking maybe i was charging too much per ton delivered if you get 5 ton which is the max i haul on this little flat trailer i take 150 bucks off the per ton price. Maybe i just need to stop over thinking and continue with printing invoices LOL

 

I think that's good price since your doing all the hard work. Again, if they thought it was too much, they would use someone else. Alot of people are too lazy to do manual work. So it works out very fair, in my opinion.

 

Around here, the minumum del. charge is $75+- ton depending on distance. Offload and stacking is usually buried into per ton price.

 

I only get charged $10 per ton for delivery and it's 10 miles. They load and unload. The hay is $90/ton.

 

Man yall are killing me. I don't measure by the ton but maybe I need to deliver up there where you are.

220 square bales about 8 tons. for a buck.25 a bale and you've got to help unload.

15-17 rounds around 8 tons for just 5 bucks a bale if you have a tractor and spike. 7 each if I have to drag them off.

 

I don't know what kind of hay you sell, but my 50-60lb. bales of Orchard grass/clover mix bring $3.50 delivered, and 1,200lb. rounds for $30 a piece delivered.

 

its first cutting alfalfa per ton is $135 for 85lb bales. It is 30miles one way from the stack to his place. I usally load by hand and unload it by hand I figure its right around 70 to fill the truck and 75 for delevery but i dont want to be cheating people.

 

Up here in Western Washington we are paying upwards of $200 a ton for alfalfa and even more in some places. Thats for the hay and stacking it in the barn. Most of the good stuff is grown in Eastern WA and you know the price of fuel!!! Its about three hours trans time from filed to barn where we live......

 

I usually do $3.25 a loaded mile or $6.00 a bale for round bales depending on the location I deliver to, some small ranch homes have small entrances and geting in there with a 5 bale hay hauler is the only way. $0.90 cents a bale to load and unload plus $3.25 a mile.

 

Hay is at a premium in North Texas. We run Hybrid Coastal, Bermuda.
We had 342 bales loaded last evening, these folks used my gooseneck and 2 of their own lo-boys. $9 a bale (square) because they drove off with my trailer and will have it til Monday.

Some folks are selling round bales for $90 around here. Squares are going for $7.50/$8 you pick up.

If we keep getting good rain this spring we should be able to get bales in the 4 dollar range. But right now some people are baling up corn husks and all kinds of trash and still getting 7/8 bucks for that.
