I have to people that want me to brush hog their fields and use my 3pt hitch post auger for fencing. anyone do this before. i dont know what to charge. for the holes I thought I would charge a certain amount a hole with a certain number minimum, so its worth my time. the brush hogging I haven't a clue.

 

Would be best to call around and ask for prices in your area. Since I'm sure it would be different in most areas. Here in Northern Ohio, it all depends on the lot size and how tall it is. But roughly knee high, 3/4 acres would run about 100 bucks. But here if you don't mow it and the city has too, they charge 240 bucks.

 

why would the city have to? is there a grass height law?

 

lmao yes there is

 

what? i can understand in a development but a 1 acre field has a certain length it can get to?

 

i would charge by the hour

 

Charge all work by the hour. You never know how long it's gonna take to mow and how slow your gonna have to go, depends on how thick it is. Post holes could take 2 minutes or 20 minutes depending on the ground they're in.

 

true. its got to be a rate i would load my tractor for. anything under $80 is just paying for expenses really.

 

i would charge them so much an hour or so much an acre.

 

Yea they call it some kind of nuisance cutting or something like that. If your neighbors complain, they call a town meeting and they go over pictures and crap and if they vote to have it cut. They come out and cut it and just add it to your tax bill.
