Panosteitis is a common condition in several large breed dogs. It typically occurs between 6 and 18 months of age, and more often in males than females. Symptoms can last from two to five months, but can actually go on for as long as 18 months in certain breeds.
OPERATING COSTS. Wages: The biggest operating cost for a backhoe, or any piece of construction equipment, is what you pay the operator. Wages vary from about $13 to $40 an hour depending on the region. The average operator will pull down about $20 an hour for pay and $11 an hour for benefits, Kurth says.
Excavator Rental Average Costs. Excavators can be rented by the day, week, or month. Not surprisingly, larger and more powerful excavators will cost more to rent than smaller models. Daily rates range from $350 to $1,600 or more. On the low end of that price range you'll get a small model like the Bobcat 442.
