Backhoe hourly rates - What are you charging?

Hi fella's,

I am new to the forum, but been around machines for a while. I have a small business on the side, focusing on general skid steer work (landscaping, post hole drilling, land clearing and snow plowing etc) in Northern Ontario, Canada. My usual skid steer rates are $75hr with the operator (me), regardless of the attachment. I think this is very fair, compared to most others. I am thinking the backhoe rate should be slightly more, perhaps in the $90-110/hr range

I looked around for some time and just bought a Case 580L to expand my business a bit. I am curious as to what the contractors on this site are charging for similar backhoes and also for skid steers?

Thanks for any input. Take care and be safe.
