My standard quote is XXX $ per hour, 4 hour minimum, meter starts when I leave the last job, stops when I park finished at your job. I'm a 'take it or leave it' guy. When I started having a minimum I was the first to do it in ag in this market. Lost several potential customers that year but over half of them wound up calling me mid season needing something (usually hay rolling; normally with the cheaper operator broken down or drunk in the field on Sunday afternoon with rain coming). I am far from the cheapest operator, probably 2-3rd most expensive. Irony is, all of the expensive operators are turning business away. My guiding principles on custom work, that I tell all potential clients, I will be there when I say I will (even if I have to hire a subcontractor at a loss), my equipment will work as it should (even if I have to rent or buy an item), and the operator will be sane, sober, and professional.
