If someone used something like this? To do some land maintenance and cleaning.

I'm charging $85/hr with a bushhog on a skidsteer. With the initial purchase expense and upkeep on a unit like that I don't think you can operate for less than $110/hr. Check around your area carefully, the market where you are may support a better hourly rate, maybe not.

 

the ones around here that I have seen and talked to the owners of are getting 125 per hour of operation or a contracted price per acre.

 

$125 sounds good!

 

They make skid steers with a cummins?!?! And to think I've been trying to talk my dad into a bobcat with a deutz...

 

Mustang 2109. Saw a used one the other day for around 20 grand 580 hours.
