I was out in the yard today and a guy stopped by and told me he had seen my bottom plow sitting there and was I interesting in selling it. I told him I couldn't sell it since I use it sometimes but since he is a neighbor (close by) he was welcome to borrow it if he wanted. He declined borrowing it, said he hated to borrow stuff. We talked for a bit. He said he had contacted someone about plowing his garden spot for him but the guy didn't get back to him yet. I asked him what was it worth to him to get it plowed and neither one of us knows the going rate. But if he didn't hear from the other guy he would call me.
This won't be a very big garden spot. Probably not much bigger than mine.
And it is completely flat with no obstructions. It got cut for hay last year.
I'd almost be willing to do it for gas money and any broken shear pins.
Maybe find something I need done and trade him for the work.
What would the going rate be for say, 50x100 feet, no rocks, trees, etc.
The guy lives 5 houses down the road from me. So I just hook up the plow
and drive it to his house and back when I finish. Real easy job to do.
So if he comes back and asks, what should I tell him.
