For purchase of Cat 1 DELTA HOOK RAPID 3 POINT HITCH SYSTEM

Assuming the following:

1. That user has several implements and changes them often.
2. That the hourly cost of the tractor operator is $11.00 per hour plus overhead (FICA, insurance, vacation, equipment amortization, travel time and other incidentals) is $13.00 per hour totaling $24.00/hour.
3. That the average time to change an implement is 15 minutes without the Delta Hook™ Rapid 3-Point Hitch System and time to change implements with the Delta Hook™ is an average of 1.5 minutes.
4. That the implements are changed an average of 15 times per week.

Without the Delta Hook™ Rapid 3-Point Hitch System the cost for changing implements would be $11.00/hour + $13.00/hr overhead multiplied by .25 hours (15 minutes divided by 60 minutes) times 15 changes per week equals $90.00.

The time saved per week utilizing the Delta Hook Rapid 3 Point Hitch System is .225 hours (15 minutes minus 1.5 minutes divided by 60 minutes) multiplied by 15 changes per week equals 3.375 hours. Weekly savings would be 3.375 hours times $24.00 = $81 per week.

Assume 1 control plate and 3 receiver plates are purchased. The cost to the business owner would be $1144.00.

The Delta Hook Rapid 3 Point Hitch System would pay for itself in a little over a year!
