Your $/hr method works if you have found it to be making money above expanses. It does not work with the proposed new equipment. Use some math the determine how many average acres are being processed with the existing equipment per hour. Use this to set an acre per hour figure that you have been working. Now add some additional fuel costs, and charge per acre. Use some mapping/gps techniques to assure you are not being told a 23 acre field is 16. I would create a contract that expressed your rate, the cutting height, the land owners risk of paying for repairs from hitting objects that are not marked within the area to be cut, and the expected time of completion. Include a disclaimer that holds you harmless from damage you might cause their property or equipment hidden in tall vegetation or unmarked. Clear wording looked at by a lawyer is to keep all parties honest and happy. Jim --- Good luck,
