Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here it goes.
We are in the process of starting a company with the thought of doing small tract clearing, Brush mowing and mulching etc.... I have an opportunity to bid a large acreage of Pipeline / Utility ROW, and frankly am a bit overwhelmed thinking about it. It is for 4000 - 8000 acres and must be done in a six month period.
We Own a new Kubota SBVL 95-S2 HFC, 6' tree slasher rotary mower (up to 7" trees) and several other tools. will be purchasing a loftness or fecon mulcher this month. We also have a ZTR, 4x4 crew cab ATV and several chain saws and trimmers.
So first, I know we will need a Tractor with a 12' to 15' rotary or flail mower, but what other equipment might one need to be successful?
With 4 men, and the equipment above how many acres per day is reasonable under average terrain, some hills, some flat and a little steep.
any thoughts as to pricing per acre??
Thanks for any help, just a new guy trying to get into a different line of work, I am tired of chasing shutdowns in oil refineries.
