What are you mowing with? For $25 an hour I'll sit home and not wear out a mower, burn gas, and be tied up for hours.
You have a chance to get land for no rent. That changes everything.
Just for grins, I shoot for 40 to 50 an hour with a six foot hog and a 40hp tractor. Keeps me real busy besides a full time job. I quote jobs. period. I don't deal well with a landowner asking me to please hurry up. Part of the draw for me is mowing with my old tractors. The plus side is no payments on equipment, the down side is they are old. Don't cheat yourself, figure breakdowns.
On an acre an hour figure with light grass, an 8N and a five foot hog. A gallon or more an hour. say 4 acres.
4x25=$100 5 gallons of gas. $3.60=18.00 You net $82 for a half a days work. Is it worth it?
You decide. Don't take this wrong, just my opinion
