[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1442255, member: 25884"] We get 75% 3 out of 4 if we do all the work with all our equipment. Don't loan or borrow equipment from anyone except 2 very good friends that we do stuff back and forth all the time....both experienced and equipment savvy. If they mow it, then we rake and bale it's 50/50. If they want all the hay and we do all the work it is $25 per roll left in the field. If we bale only then it is $10 to 15 per bale. We don't use any of the customers equipment as a rule. Did use the rake of one, and bent a wheel on it and replaced it, kept the bent one for parts for our rake. All fuel and string is our cost. We also insist the owner rides the field and shows us the rocks, or we make arrangements early in the year where we can see the field before it grows up. Mostly now we only make hay on places that we get to keep all the hay, mostly places that have "farmettes" and want the tax breaks but no animals. Have people asking all the time for us to please come cut their places for the hay, and many we turn down due to the roughness. Will do custom bushhogging, and that varies but usually 75-100 hr.
