Some people from the village came to watch Ye Mo dig fertilization pits, sit by the orchard to enjoy the cool air, and chat.
"This micro-digging is not bad, it works really fast." Uncle Li lit up his cigarette and saw Ye Hong coming over: "Ye Laoer, why are you here."
"Come and see Ye Mo's excavator." Ye Hong said.
"How's your orchard digging?" Uncle Li asked, and many people came to look at it.
"It's a bit slow." The second uncle shook his head. "
“How many acres can you dig in a day?”
My second uncle's family is also digging a fertilization pit and started working on it in the morning.
"At the end of the day, it's three to four acres. Digging a hole is relatively large, so it's a bit difficult."
"How much did it cost to buy that orchard digger?" Zhang Laosi asked.
Nowadays, the orchard area is so large that it is simply impossible to complete the orchard work with only two or three members of a family.
"More than 40,000 yuan."
"Where's the gas bill?"
"At the end of the day, sixty or seventy yuan for gas." The second uncle looked at Zhang Laosi and said with a smile, "What, you want to buy one too?"
"Three or four acres a day... To be honest, I'm still a little excited." Zhang Laosi smiled and said.
"I sold my orchard digging machine to you and it has only been used for three years. It was 39,500 when I bought it. Now I'm selling it to you... 25,000. Do you want it?" the second uncle said with a smile.
"You want to sell?" Uncle Li San became interested.
"Has your machine ever broken down?" Uncle Li San asked. He had gone to see orchard digging and micro-digging with several people in the village before...
The cheapest orchard digging costs more than 10,000 yuan, and there seems to be a few thousand yuan more. But in special novels... it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a baby version of the excavator.
Ye Hong’s orchard digging machine is close to 1 ton, and it seems to be a brand-name product...
"20,000." Uncle Li San said.
"I'll pay 23,000," Zhang Laosi said.
"Really?" Ye Hong looked at Zhang Laosi.
"I really want it." Zhang Laosi said: "I only have more than 40 acres over there, and a mini-excavator is just right."
Zhang Laosi and Uncle Ye were neighbors, and they knew about the orchard digging machine... and he even borrowed it for use.
Now if you buy an orchard digger of similar weight, it will cost about 40,000 yuan. Although the orchard digger has been used for three years, it looks very new...
Uncle Ye said: "Our orchard is large, and that orchard digger is no longer practical. If you really buy it, I will tell you about the orchard dig... The hydraulic mechanism of the orchard digger's boom is not too
Okay, it won’t take long before it’s probably going to break. The main problem is that…”
The most common problem with an excavator is the boom. At the same time, the wearing parts include chassis parts, buckets, bucket pins, cylinder seals, and filter elements... No matter whether it is a large or small dig, if you want to use it for a long time, you must pay attention to maintenance.
.
"How much does it cost to replace the boom?"
"It's just to replace the parts of the arm. It costs more than a thousand yuan to buy it and replace it yourself. If you hire a master to repair it, it will cost more than two thousand or even three thousand yuan." The second uncle said: "But your orchard is not big.
, that orchard digger can be used. As for your family..." The second uncle looked at Li San and said: "Your family has more than 90 acres of orchard, if you really want to buy it, you should buy a mini digger worth hundreds of thousands."
If it's twenty to thirty thousand yuan, I'll accept it. But hundreds of thousands...
Too much.
Li San shook his head: "You mean, if the area of the orchard is larger, it will be difficult to dig the orchard?"
"It's easy to use, but the work is too slow." The second uncle said: "Compared with Ye Mo's micro digging, the orchard digging work is too slow. Your family has more than 90 acres, if you buy a machine
After digging the orchard, I dig a hole myself, apply fertilizer, and then backfill...it will take at least two and a half months to do it all. The oil cost will be more than 4,000 yuan, which is still tiring."
Many people in the production team have considered buying orchards for digging, and many people have even bought orchards for digging.
The production team's current orchard digging units are conservatively estimated to be around ten or twenty units. However, the families who buy orchard digging units are basically small orchards under fifty acres...
As for buying a micro digger, there are some. The most expensive micro digger costs about two tons and costs more than 80,000 yuan.
Excavators, you get what you pay for. If these excavators only work at home, there is no problem at all, but if you want to go out to pick up work, it is a bit difficult. Even your own orchard is too busy...
"There's no need to buy it." Someone said, "It's better to ask Lao Qing and the others to help with the work. Really speaking, it will save more money."
Uncle Li did some calculations. Their family has more than 90 acres of mangoes. It seems that it is not suitable to buy an ultra-small excavator. At least two or three tons of micro-excavation will be needed...
Ye Mo's micro digger is Kubota U30-5, and the total weight of the machine is 3.5 tons.
One complete machine is imported and costs more than RMB 300,000. The other is domestically produced for RMB 150,000...including complete accessories.
If you want to buy a better micro digger with more than three tons, the price should be in the early 100,000s.
After buying this kind of excavator, if you don't go out to pick up work and only do orchard work, it will be a bit of a loss.
For example, if Uncle Li San's family has an orchard of more than 90 acres and hires Ye Mo and others to go there... After one year, the cost is about 10,000 yuan. But if you buy an excavator yourself, you can spend 100,000 yuan to buy one, or you can buy a slightly smaller one.
, it must be more than 50,000 yuan to meet their family’s needs.
Fertilize twice a year, after fruiting and in spring.
The heavy fertilizer application this year has made the excavator work a bit slower. If fertilization was carried out normally... the cost would be much cheaper.
Ye Mo and the others entered Chen Chen's orchard at almost four o'clock and worked until dark, then they stopped working.
Sanshu Chen had prepared dinner over there, and he had already called Ye Mo and the others to come over for dinner, but Ye Mo and the others were rushing to work... It was getting dark, so they stopped working.
The progress in the afternoon was quite fast. I worked for almost 4 hours and dug almost 30 acres.
In the afternoon, many people came to watch.
Everyone is good at settling accounts. Judging from the speed at which Ye Mo and the others work... they are indeed fast.
Before, someone hired an outside excavator to work...for eight hours, only 600 pits were guaranteed. It looked like 80 pits per hour...
Although the pits Ye Mo and the others dug were not very good, they were fast and could reach eighty or ninety.
Uncle San and his family made roasted chicken with taro, stewed elbow, and old duck soup.
"It will probably take three days to dig your orchard." While eating, Dad Ye said, "This is our first time digging holes for fruit trees. We thought we could dig more than a hundred acres in one day, but now it seems
It’s simply impossible.”
"Hmm." The third uncle nodded and said, "After we apply fertilizer here, will we start backfilling? Or will we wait until all the holes are dug before backfilling?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Dad Ye said with a smile: "After you have applied fertilizer, we will arrange for an excavator to come over and backfill."
"We have applied the fertilizer early, and we need to start pruning the fruit trees. We will prune these more than 100 acres by ourselves, and it is estimated that we will have to be busy for more than a month." Dad Chen sighed: "The output of the orchard here this year is indeed too small, hurry up
Take good care of it and look forward to a good harvest next year.”
