If you did the work before setting the price, you may be in trouble. You need to know how much it cost to operate your tractor. Fuel cost is simple to figure. Gal/hour. The more hidden cost involve keeping a log book of repairs with the Hobbs hour timer information. Dividing the years' repair and fuel cost with how many hours you used the tractor that year will give you a doller/hour cost. You then must figure how much your time is worth. Are you planning to do this as a side business or are you just helping a friend? For mowing, I've seen cost of anywhere from $10 to $25 an acer. Good luck in figuring this out. -Bill
