Having my own equipment and crew it cost me several times that to burn my own property. There’s gotta be more to the story than just $6/ac or the guy just loves paying you to burn your property. I don’t see how you could get close to breakeven at $6. My actual out of pocket expense is closer to $15/ac not including fire lanes. Our fire lanes cost several thousand dollars per mile to install, and that’s me operating my own dozer. There is nothing ‘more’ to the story. I think you are mistaken about your line installation cost. You shouldn’t be paying more than $350-450 per mile for one pass lines. If you are paying several thousand dollars for one mile of line, you are getting royally screwed. That is more than 20 hours of dozer time per mile.

I also have my own dozer and it cost me a hell of a lot more than $350 for a mile of line to be installed. Got to be a lot of equipment auctions in your area

Maybe they burned all 750 acres in 1 or 2 trips and maybe there’s not much line pushing. Hell we’ve set up over 500 acres in couple hours.
I’m sure everyone would rather burn in Alabama for $6 than be in FL for $55, i know i would
