What hourly rate is the norm for skid steer work? I received an estimate of $60 per hour and it seems high to me. Is that how much it costs these days?

$60 an hour fair price around my area.
Depend what kind of work your doing and how long in time the job might be...lot of work for that customer you could lower your price.

This is all based on location.
Around here (NY) it would be 2x that or more. You cannot even rent one per day for that cheap.

As previously stated that's very dependent on area. For comparison, that rate is closer to the lower end for renting small-to-medium sized skid steers -- even here in central northern Alabama.
So it may be worth checking rental rates in your area as there are contractors who will rent their equipment from a rental place and then add on their labor rates to get an averaged hourly rate for their work. Which in my opinion is more honest than the billing for the entire rental cost plus the labor costs for each job the equipment is used on..... (heard of that happening a time or two).
