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.
Renting a small backhoe can cost $100-$200 for a half-day or day, depending on location and model. Hiring an operator and a bulldozer, skid steer loader or similar equipment can cost $50-$150 or more an hour, depending on local rates and the type and size of equipment used.
