He guys, I would like to see if I could get your opinions on pricing a clearing project. The total area of the job is 1.75 acres. The property consist of mostly 8" to 10" pine trees and the land is fairly flat on a moderate grade. I'm pricing it to clear the trees, push into a big pile, burn, and haul off left over fire debre. I will be using a cat 953b to do the clearing. I know that I am pricing against someone else using a mulcher. I would love to get the job but I am aware that a mulcher may be able to do this job cheaper than me, I just want to make sure that I am in the right price range for clearing it with my machine. I just bought this loader and want to keep it busy. I can run it fairly decent, main reason I bought it was to start doing some bigger projects like this. I will buy me a mulcher one day but I have to work from the bottom up to get there. I came up with about 5300 for clearing, burning, and hauling off leftover. What are your opinions on this price?Many thanks for your input!
