I charge $75hr 4hr min on all my jobs.
That being said alot of bushhogging and/or plowing can be done in 4hrs
So depending on hours spent each time would determine value. I would have to be around 13 hrs to hit that amount.
I start my clock as soon as I park my truck to unload. Hope this helps

Not to mention if something happens to the equipment. I’ve went and done $200 jobs and they cost me $1200 from hitting a stump or something you didn’t know was there. Make it worth his time. I think you’re being fair with him.

If he makes 2 trips then I think the price is fair too.

He is your best friend. You get to hang out with him and plant green fields together. Even though you are on one piece of equipment and he is on the other. He sounds reliable so I would not worry about the cost. Paying a good friend is way better than paying someone you don’t know well. You get what you pay for in life. I pay people more than fair so they want to keep coming back because good help that won’t steal from you or trash your equipment is hard to find.

If I was the best friend on the tractor I wouldn’t charge nothing . That’s what friends do to help one another . It will come back around one day . I disc lot neighbors gardens every year . Charge nothing . What neighbors are for

I understand from a lot of my customers $85/ hr. is the going rate for that type work. Figuring it out in a flat fee is hard.

I helped my friend plant 22 acres last hunting season and didn't charge him a dime. But I do enjoy getting on my tractor and working. Me and him dont keep score and will help each other whenever needed.
