Thanks EZM... I've spoken with several mulching companies and their rates are up to $850 per hour without any real improvement in productivity or cost. Part of the problem is that most mulching companies rely on the high billing rates from oil and gas and utility industries and not from the agricultural community. Regardless, I'm still looking for a tracked skid steer operator interested in a large contract.
