just curious,as for the past few years I have plowed quite a bit for the farmer down the road. I do it for the fun of playing with my toys, as I own 50 acres of woods,no tillable land.just wondering what a real custom plower would be getting. thanks steve

I guess I'll take a stab at this one. I do as much custom work as time permits. When doing moldboard plowing, I base my rates on several factors. 1. The amount of ground to be plowed. I want more per acre for 2 acres than 200
2. Distance from home. Do I need to haul the tractor, or drive it without a trailer.
3. Conditions in the field. Muddy? Dry? Sod? Rocky?
For "smaller" acreage, I use a small tractor. (3 bottom plow on 60 HP tractor.) Big acreage, (6 bottom on a 130 HP tractor.) I try to make at least $60 an hour with the 60 HP tractor. The 130 brings $80 an hour. I can plow just under 2 acres an hour with the 60 HP, and almost 5 acres an hour with the bigger one. SO.....Anywhere from $16 an acre, on up to $30, depending MOSTLY on the size of the job. John
