I’m quite strict on regular pricing vs casual pricing vs hugely overgrown pricing, there’s no cheap cut for a knock down job, it’s too hard on the machinery and body.

And for future reference, my huski 322l at constant WOT will drain a tank in 50mins, I did that 3 and a half times for this old lady.
A 322L fuel tank is 500ml.

3.5 x 0.5 = 1.75lt

1.75lt x $2.05 (av. fuel price) = $3.60 + oil in fuel, so lets just guess and say $4.50 overall.

$4.50 + mower fuel + travel expenses + travel time + maintenance levy on equipment all get deducted from the price charged. And that's all before you consider tax's, insurances ect is taken into account. I love how some people think that just because you charge them a certain amount that all of that lands in your pocket.


Speaking of the Husqvarna 322L, how are you finding it? I remember you were having issues adjusting to the straight shaft.
