To access unlimited farm inputs you will need a Plus or Pro subscription. You can upgrade here or start a 14-day free trial here.
You can record machinery use associated with Field Jobs using inputs.
Setting up machinery as an input
Head to Farm Settings, then select the 'Inputs' tab
Create a new input for your machinery, e.g. “JD 6820”
Choose which unit to measure for Field Jobs - for example you could use ‘count’ to record the number of hours used. Alternatively, if you know your per hectare/acre cost, you could use count to record the cost for the job.
Set the input type as ‘Other’
Save the input
You can repeat this for each machine, implement, or machine + implement combination used on your farm.
Adding your machinery input to a Field Job
When creating a Field Job you can then add the machinery as an input, alongside seed, fertilisers, sprays, etc.
Tap 'Add Inputs'
Select the machinery used on the job, e.g. "JD 6820"
Enter the rate of this input per hectare/acre or the total amount used per job.
Fuel
Fuel can be added as it's own input type just below the inputs section and works in the same way as inputs.
Adding Input Costs
Go to the Reporting tab in the web app
Choose the Input Summary report
Click ‘Edit Costs’ to add a unit cost
For hours it would be the cost associated to that machine’s hourly running cost (with or without labour)
If you’ve added a per ha/ac cost it would be the cost calculated for doing one ha/ac of work with that machine.
Input Reporting
Use the Input Report to view a breakdown of the amounts of inputs used per field and totals for field usage including cost
The Gross Margins report can be used to monitor farm performance by field or crop type. If you set up machinery with the input type ‘Other’ it will be included in the dark grey section of the bar chart.
