What planet are you guys from to charge $5900 dollars for disking 80 acres of weeds? My tractor and disk will do around 11 acres an hour. Your 80 acres would be about an 8 hour job for me if I took my time and goofed around. Tractor burns about 6.5 gallons of diesel per hour to disk. I would use about 60 gallons of fuel for the entire job. At $2.50 per gallon I would have less than $150 invested in fuel. Leaving a profit of $5750 dollars for 8 hours work. $718 dollars per hour for my time? If money comes that easily in California I'd better drive my tractor out there and get to it. Could be a millionare in a few months out there. Does this developer have a clue how badly he's getting ripped off? $500 dollars would be a high estimate on this job.
