Fencing goes up faster with more help, ESSPECIALLY vinyl, so factor in help if you dont have it.
Chain link terminal and line posts come out MUCH easier with equipment, I always factor in a mini skidder (stand on machine) when specing fences/decks for any lifting/boring needs such as what you describe...big skidders are much better at tugging them out, but also leave a much more defined footprint as you know when they leave unless you plywood a trail, regardless, another case of it's goes faster/easier with another set of hands.
Two of us installed my vinyl fence around my backyard in a combined 1 day time frame, 210' worth with a gate. 1 day to mark/bore holes 6' o.c. and seet posts in cement. let it sit a few days, came back and installed the panels which go SUPER FAST if you have your spacing spot on, we're talking less than 2-4 minutes max per panel fully screwed through all the brakcets and points needing screwed through....you time will be most spent on the layout and post setting since that is critical, and IF you have to err, err on the small side, it's much better to have to cut a little off each side of the panel to make it symetrical and fit, vs having an opening larger than the panel will span.
I'll take doing vinyl over wood anyday just because it's 3x's as fast, not near as much screwing around...but post layout is the critcial factor. The ones we used speced 6' o.c. post spacing, i measure the panels with brackets and they were 67" overall, i cut a 2x4 @ 67 1/2" to use as my spacer, so once we set 1 "master post" we used the 67 1/2" template to space all the other posts off of so they came out perfect.
Price wise will depend on how much you need per day to cover machinery, all labor wages, profits...but just rest assured it goes up very fast, you'll like it once you get the first few panel set and see what's involved.:thumbsup:
