How much does a excavator per hour cost ?

How much would it cost to rent a excavator for pulling up stumps per day ? On average

I have been looking into it for awhile now. I have a lot of work to be done and have decided it would be cheaper to buy a used machine and do the work myself, then sell it when I'm done. I find that prices start around $8k for an OK used machine like a John Deere or a Case. For that much it will be pretty beat up but it should work OK for the average homeowner. If you wanted to make a business out of it I would plan on spending around $15-20k for a reliable machine then add the cost of truck and trailer to move it around and don't forget insurance. Ripping out an underground line can get expensive to repair.

We get 100 an hour for a wheel hoe and 2 hundred an hour for the track hoe. including an operator If the operator is knowledgable you can dig a lot of stumps in an hour.

This will vary by area. I would try equipment rental places first. Then call landscaping and excavation companies. They might charge a flat rate or a delivery fee then hourly after.
