FAQ

Questions Machinery Economics owners ask.

  • 01

    How does the capability calculate the cost of owning a machine?

    The get_ownership_cost_analysis capability calculates the total cost by summing fixed costs (depreciation, capital opportunity cost, insurance, and housing) and variable costs (fuel, repairs, and labor).

  • 02

    What is the break-even point?

    The break-even point is the specific level of annual usage (hours or hectares) where the cost of owning the machinery equals the cost of hiring a custom operator.

  • 03

    Can I compare specific annual workloads?

    Yes, you can use compare_ownership_vs_hire to see if owning is cheaper than hiring for your specific planned annual hours.
