Rototilling

   / Rototilling #21  
Here is a project I worked on this afternoon, I have already installed a new pipeline for irrigation and need to laser level this field.

So I started tilling at 3:45 pm and ended at 6:50 pm. This included a few minutes for a break and refueling, so 4.2 acres in 3 hours. Travel speed was 2.6 mph and the tiller blades are worn but still good enough for the initial passes.

Notice how tall the grass and weeds are because I had no issues with wrapping, higher than the tractor hood in places. Next week I will make another pass

I would charge by the hour. $75-$100 is about right. Let the customer decide when it looks like what they want. No danger in underbidding the job if you set the hourly rate right.
