So I got a call a few days back from a local 90 acre horse farm operation to come look at pasture clipping. Guy sold tractor and mower, wants to have a contractor do it. Went to look today. Only has like 10 horses. Lots of empty unused, but neatly kept pasture. Best guess is I'd be clipping about 60 AC.
One problem is that its kind of farm from my hay fields.
I already have 15' bush hog. I only have one tractor capable of this job and it'll be tied up all season. Still hunting for 3rd tractor. He wants it clipped after 18" growth to avoid matting. That's a lot of cuts.
So my question is, should I say nothing about hay and just give him price for cutting?
OR should I suggest haying, knowing he may balk at letting it get to 3-4' high, but he'd get cut free (I will still have to bush hog some low, wet, treed areas)?
