I charge $200 a acre. And people pay it. Tractors and bush hogs aren’t cheap.

I'm in southwest Mo. I use a 6' bush hog. I always charge by the job. There are a lot of steep hills in my area, and have to charge for what I call "the pucker factor". I have a $130 minimum and like to make at least $75 per hr.

I don’t unload the tractor for less than $350. New tractor is being delivered end of the week and I’ll likely increase my $350 minimum to $400. I’ll also get an 8’ cutter instead of a 6’. I get pricing differs based on where you live. In my area, most guys with tracked skid steers charge a $500 minimum.

I just noticed, that's 5 minutes away from my house! Lol. I found you 2 weeks ago on here learning about the,5075e, which I ended up getting. Who'd thought we were close to be neighbors. Great videos and thanks for all the great information on the tractor and also that 12' bat wing which I'm also considering getting! 250 sounds good

I'd say that's a fair price given the time it should take you, plus the winter already has it dried up and knocked down which helps. Since you bush hogged it in the past you already know if there's rock's, steel posts, cable, or other trash, so that lowers the risk of hitting anything that's hidden. I mow unsold lots and reserves in housing developments, as well as large commercial properties, so you always have to keep an eye out for new mowing hazards. By the way, congrats on the new 5075E, that's a nice tractor sir. I was looking at one a year ago, I like the idea of adding a tractor that size with either a 6 or 7 foot bush hog for smaller jobs instead of using the batwing or skid loader on them.

Glad you're making more videos !!! Love your channel.

Not very tall, but it looks thick. 250.00 for the reasons you gave is a good deal for the customer and covers you.

That's a $300. job for me.

I understand the way you are pricing plus word of mouth can also bring in more work

How do you deal with pricing when the prior gentleman mowed a difficult acre with trees and a steep slope with 40k worth of equipment for $50 bucks??? He’s obviously paying for his equipment with another income and doing this for fun. Kinda waters down the value of a good service with very expensive equipment so bad you can’t even begin to compete. Thanks! MB in upstate NY

What part of Tennessee do you live? I'm in West Tennessee.

How do you gauge the price.. buy how long you think it may take?? with the condition of the property. looking to start doing stuff like this thanks for the videos

I have my first job 5 acres haven't seen the property but I told them 50 an acre 😔😔😔

More 350

Hey man I like watching your videos. My name is Matt and I live in tennessee as well. I. Trying to convince my wife I can supplement some extra income by purchasing a 40-50 HP tractor and a few implements. It seems around here where I live there’s a lawn service on every corner but not many bush hogging/tiller/cleanup/driveway service guys. Do you have any trouble keeping busy with these type jobs. BTW...... I’m a teacher/coach and my wife is as well so would be extra money. We are trying to buy 14 acre farm so would be buying a lot of this stuff anyway. Sorry so long. Thanks

Hello Scott I am looking at attachments it seems the rear attachments all need constant adjusting of the top link means getting out does JD have an Hydrolic can’t spell option. I assume if they did I would have to get another hydro connection on my 5075E

I like your price

I say that's about r

how do you like you're 5075e so far? I was expecting a lot worse.

How long would it take to brush hog that 3 acres?

Read my damn mind , doesn’t look bad at all for 3 years

I stopped video at 5:08. My estimate; $500
