You may view a slide show of my tractor work here, both mowing and tilling

I use a John Deere 770 light tractor.
I am equipped to mow fields,
auger post holes 6"
disk plow
roto tiller
scrape and level land or gravel roads and do light loading.

My rates are $60.00 per hour, tractor time, two hour minimum.

Return clients remain at $50.00 hour
Currently due to lack of truck, I am limited to jobs within 7 miles of Paulding Middle School.
I do not charge for local transport time, within 15 miles of my home, or down time,
I go by the hour meter on the machine, recorded when I start the job and when I finish.
I am not set up for charge or debit cards, all payments to be in cash or check.

However, BackCountry Horsemen, Los Padres Unit, receive a discount, their rate is $40.00 per hour.

You too can get this rate!; A year membership in BackCountry Horsemen is $40.00.
Four hours work at the normal rate is $200.00
If you join BackCountry Horsemen at $40.00 then the rate I charge you is $40.00 per hour, which means that at four hours, you have broken even, any work time beyond that is charged at the lower rate. Sounds great, eh?
Here is the BackCountry Horsemen Los Padres Unit website; http://www.bchc-lpunit.org
And here is the membership form; http://www.bchc-lpunit.org/join.html

Transport more than 15 miles from my location is charged at $2.00 per mile based on Mapquest mileage from my address to job site.
There is a two hour minimum for jobs beyond the 15 mile point
I service the Central Coast from Orcutt to Paso Robles.

If you have acreage with weeds or brush, you may lose it all to wild fire, Please consider disking or mowing your property.
If you have sagebrush, chaparral, dry grass, stubble, brush, litter or other flammable materials which endanger your land and your community by creating a fire hazard.
Although the wet season is coming, please remember that the new growth this winter will only make a bad situation worse.
I recommend mowing before the rains hit, and then again in the spring.

The most important
person in protecting your house from wildfire is not a firefighter, but
you.
I spent many years as a wildland firefighter and have seen first hand what happens to a home with weeds and brush in proximity to it.
