Hi T,

Unless you've got some immense gardens around there, travel time's pretty much everything. Even for my compact tractor I figure minimum charge. Used to travel for 4 hrs billing, but quit that last year. Now it's 8 hrs minimum (7 on the ground). No chance I'd ever get any garden work, but landscape is where I get my calls for the small tractor. Real busy in the spring.

You need to figure how long you'll likely spend tilling a spot, how long it takes to get there and back, and how much you want for your time, tractor, and truck. That's assuming you aren't going the professional route of including insurance and looking seriously at your overhead.

Not anything I'd put hrs on my tractor over.

A suggestion if you try it: either work for full fare or free. Discounting your rate almost never works.
