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.
1 Renting a backhoe for do-it-yourself use typically costs $100-$200 for half-day or full day rental of a small or mini-backhoe; larger models typically rent for $200-$350 or more a day or $500-$1,500 or more for a week. For example, the Kubota B26 TLB (tractor loader backhoe) with a lift capacity of 1,102 pounds and a digging depth of 8' has a base manufacturer's price of about $35,000; the Kubota L39 TLB, which has a lifting capacity of 2,800 pounds and a digging depth of 10', has a manufacturer's base price of about $40,500.
