Price by the job after you get experience and you will make a lot more money. I have a $750 minimum because it takes time and money to move equipment and make a living wage. For less than $750 call a lawn service. Shoot for $1200/day + mileage. 8 hrs of cutting, 2 hrs of loading. This works out to be about $100/ac for straight cutting. Mud, stumps, and trees slow you down but are covered by a day rate. 1/2 day minimum at $750. You can include the travel as a discount if nearby. Customers can always rent equipment and do it themselves. You need to earn this much due to seasonal work, maintenance and making a living.

If I were brush cutting all day though I'd want a cab tractor for the heat, cold, hornet's etc. Makes for a much better day!

@@hugostiglitz8465definitely a cab. I’d love to make some money off my tractor like this but without a cab and the risk of mowing over yellow jackets isn’t worth it as I’m highly allergic to ground bees.

My neighbor got a pretty flat clean field to cut, but it still takes 4 hours to cut the whole field. Neighbor only wants to pay $200.00 for my time and equipment use. I’m not trying to make a living from helping out a neighbor, but I think $200.00 is still too low? Not even making $50.00 an hour since I got fuel cost coming out of my pocket too!

If you get stuck and have the front loader you can use the bucked to shove the tractor backwards. The bucket can claw forwards a little bit but it shoves backward better. I have done this successfully several times... And last week I got my tractor stuck so bad the front loader didn't help!

I got my first tractor this month August 24 . A Bad boy 1025H with front loader , backhoe and 5ft brush hog. Also found a great deal on a Big Tex 18 ft trailer near half price out the door. I hear the 25 can dance pretty well apt a little slow compared to the 30 &40 hp tractors but I sure like it . Maybe some small jobs here and there but bought it mostly for personal use including the 10 acres at church. I just don't see a worth while profit as it still a substantial amount of money. I also purchased two lawn mowers, a 0turn and a garden tractor with a 8 x 6 trailer , so I've definitely spent some coin this year on equipment but on a honest not it may be just as profitable to mow yards the hauling my tractor to and from as well as the cost of operating ware and tear as I can find plenty of yards to mow for 100 bucks an acre or 130 to include weed eater. Personally I just don't see the profit in most bushing jobs unles its a clean field and its just to rocky in middle Tennessee.

Firestone charges $125/hr to change tires. You cannot run a business and pay yourself, with downtime or time between jobs, for less than $150/hr. Determine the hours needed, and then charge a project fee. Sometimes you come out ahead a little, sometimes the customers does.

id estimate that the tractor/implement amoritization is around $30/hr, so while that seems like profit, youre going to have to replace the tractor 5 years on.

A lot people do not understand what it takes to do these “simple jobs”. They just see you doing the actual mowing and think you’re just having a good time on the tractor. Like someone else said in your comments, they can go rent the equipment for more and do it themselves.
