What the previous guy was charging, is his business. What you charge is yours. If you think its fair, mind you its more than what you normally get for the same work, run with it. If its lopsided in your favor, the customers pay on time, and there's no risks to your equipment, I would consider discounting the price. A fair and reasonable profit is one thing, blatantly ripping someone off is another.
I set up a friend to have a field that he does not even own cut, absentee owner, we used to plant this ground, around 10 acres. He wanted it cut so they can see and that it does not get overgrown, owner does not care apparently. So the person I connected him with has a 7420 JD and large rotary, he's a few miles away so he has travel time to the field, same one he had crops in. Price matched his set up. The following year another person we both know did it for half. Both were fair given the risk or inherent nature of this kind of business of owning and operating equipment such as this. I'd not complain as a customer. A customer should consider buying the equipment, then realize the cost of doing business with it, standing in the mowing contractor or business owners shoes, then think that price over again.
