  Too many variables!
  What is it? Commercial is to vague
  What are you cutting it with and what are they expecting?
  Is it a multi national company or a local football club?

    There a large factory and want it to look nice so the 4 hours cutting would be tl plenty if time to get it nice. It's a case of mowing with a 21 inch mower and possibly when funds allow a rideon later on.

      Look at it from a perspective other than time.
      How big is it in acres/ M2?
      I'm guessing it's about 1.5- 2 acres if you think four hours comfortably?
      Also ask yourself if you really want to walk for 4 hours to cut some grass. Unless they want cut and collect stripes I think you will find the price you need to charge to make it worthwhile for you may be too high for them.

        Yes I'd say it is around 1.5-2 acres, it's a case of mowing it making it look nice, no stripes just a wheel Base mower, 2 men can then do it in around 2 hours each. It's a nice job to add to the books and I was just generally wondering what others would charge for a general mow that would take them that amount of time.

          For me a four hour mow would be between £120-160 depending on location and site specifics.<br />
          You may find your up against people like me who can come in and be gone in less than an hour for £60 or less.<br />
          Leaving a good finish especially if weekly.<br />
          Just to add though I would not take the big mower out on hourly rates. That would be for a 21 inch machine
          That was why is was wondering about size not time

  What price did you have in mind?
  That might be easier for people to respond.

    I was thinking in the region of £130-£150 I kow some weeks will be alot easier than other weeks, I wanted to check that people were on same length or if I was under cutting myself.
