A handful of years ago, people would’ve looked at me like I spoke a foreign language charging them $50/acre. However, I’m not going to take $70K worth of my equipment onto their property just for the pleasure of finding rocks, stumps, and their junk with it. Ronnie, your price range is reasonable for the value of your time and equipment. Oh, someone else (like you said) with a 50-60hp tractor pulling a 6’ cutter might do it for less, but to do a 60 acre field running as fast as that tractor could halfway bushhog would still wind up taking them 16 straight hours (at least). So I don’t blame you for not doing small jobs. As far as your videos, video all you do. I’m older than you and have still learned a few things from you - that’s invaluable. Your channel so you do what you want to and folks will either watch or they can move on down the road. I started watching because I like “shredding”, I start for all your content because I like you and your family.
I'm at $100 an hour M5-111 and Rhino Apex 3150 batwing. I used to do it by the acre ($15) but people around here (East Texas) would wait until the weeds/grass was as tall as the tractor and the field was tore up from the hogs so bad that I couldn't mow but in second gear. I do have one lady that I still do for $350 but it's close enough to the house that I drive the tractor to it and I am done in less than 6 hours. My minimum is $225 to load up and come to your place. Although there was place that was far enough away that I charged them an hour of drive time and they were ok with it.
