Does anyone know the production rate for a weedeater in brush(30 inch+/- weeds) ? And does anyone know the production rate for a brush mower like a Billy Goat Brush Mower or a DR Mower(also in the same conditions)? Im looking for real world numbers, not manufacturers numbers. Thanks
Way too many variables to pin down an exact number. Depends on terrain, growth, smooth vs. Bumpy , layout of property ect... My brushmower has a 30" deck. I have done many brushclearing jobs under different conditions. I have had 1/2 acre jobs that took a sometime because of the difficulty but I also have done jobs upwards of a couple acres that I finished in a couple hours. An average would be a 1/2 acre an hour depending on conditions. Always bid these by the hour not by the size. I have become pretty accurate over the years at bidding these types of jobs. After you do a number of them you get a feel of what they should go for. I try to be around 75$hr if not more. They are many risks involved in clearing out overgrown areas; snakes, bees, poison ivy, hidden objects ect... I always walk a property before I start. Posted via Mobile Device
Thanks for your reply! It is true that there are just to many variables, I guess I will just need more experience. What kind of engine do you have and how much gas is it burning?
