Its this your own personnel property? If not, is your boss going to appreciate you doing your own lawn cutting on the side?

As for price, when I borrow stuff from work I typically take what it would cost me to rent the equipment from a rental store and go %25-50 off that.

he doesn't mind that I have my own small buisness on the.side he's actually been very helpful. Only think he says is don't let it interfear with your real job which I completely understand. Not being an ass but you didn't answer my question to well. Should I rent.it hourly if so how much per hour or should I rent it some other way

If your boss is LCO & you are doing lawns on the side, he prob won't go for it. If the job takes you 1 hr, you want to give him $20. Not worth it. Now if you needed it for 10hrs=$200, then maybe. What if something major happens to the mower while you are using it? Are you gonna pay for repairs?

Stand on as in 36,48? Do it with your own mower then.

Its a 34". With the 72" I'm estimating an hour. my rate is 60 an hour after drive time and everything else factored in I came up with $100 a cut. mow trim edge blow. With the 34" its gunna take twice.as long therefore my price would have.to double. Iam somewhat new to the buisness game I've been a mower for awhile and iam excellent. All buisness info such as placing bids or anything else is appreciated. Thanks

I did awnser your question...you just didn't interpret it correctly. Prices vary all over the country so I left the final details up to you.

Example:
You can go to the local rental store and they rent for $50/hour. So Take %75 of that...$37 and offer that to your boss.
