I think you were giving the gals too good of a deal, and I have done some custom hay for 25 years.
The only way you even get close to coming out on a 50/50 split is for the land owner to have good clean land, and a recent planting with correct fertilizer, and then the best I'd do is give him his hay on wagons with 18 hours to empty the wagons. It's his hay to unload, stack, sell, or get rained on if he isn't timely. I have had the 50/50 offer put to me, and only fell into that trap once. With today's parts costs, fuel costs, twine cost, equipment investment, your labor or you paying for hired labor, it just does not pencil out. For land that has been out of production and has some scrub brush or scrub cedars or other woody stuff growing in, they should be paying you!
Run, don't walk! Let Mr Smart Guy buy and maintain and operate his own hay equipment. After about 2 years, he will be much smarter! Remember a deal is only good if it is good for BOTH parties.
