Pricing for 20 acres?

Hi all, what would people typically charge for a typical open plan regularly fortnightly maintained flat square 20 acres with relatively no obstacles? Just so that i can get a ballpart figure! All comments greatly appreciated. Cheers!

  • no strimming

  • Maybe take your 1 acre price from the other thread and x by 20?

    You will probably get better answers to sensitive questions like pricing if you ask in the BOG.

    • The last message allowed traveltime..this is a different league/scale. Pricings are very very different

      • If that was the case- i would charge 30 an acre and make £600 for this job. Sadly it does not work that way

        • Your price should be the cost of running your business per hour, including the costs for the particular machine you plan to use, your wages plus some profit.

          When you have your internal hourly rate, then multiply that by the time it will take to mow the size of the plot, whichever size that may be. Then you don't have to start multiple threads about different sized bits of grass, you just have to know how long it takes you to mow...

          • I understand all of that..but as per the question i am of course after what others might quote such as yourself...otherwise with the info you gave me id just roughly calculate a guess. I am after what other contractors would quote for this please- i must stress this point

              This won't happen on an open forum, most people will only be willing to give specifics on pricing within the BOG....
              • I have just received a figure from someone else on here if you read.... and it seemed to make sense and be fair. It is an open discussion...we can all learn from this too.

    A tractor or a 5 gang  or large batwing going to be used? Because that's almost certainly what others quoting with be using.

    • yes..assuming it is a batwing..what would you charge?
