Could someone please post a link to the recent discussions on determining a rate for custom bush hogging? I've tried search and can't seem to come up with the right combination of words. I get too distracted with other topics if I just browse the forums. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
The neighbor has around 20 acres he wants cut down. It's got alot of high weeds, thistles and 1 inch saplings but little that's bigger. I've got an Kubota L4300 or a Ford 4000 for power and a Brush Bull 720 ( Med. Duty 6') to do the cutting. Figure I can cover 1 to 1.4 acres per hour with steady going. Fuel consumption appears to be between 1 and 2 gph for the Kubota, but that seems low to me.
Don't want to gouge the guy, as he's a friend; but I would like to cover my costs.
Thanks.
Bob
