I have to provide a bid on one this size for mowing and plowing. My largest current customer has 2 acres. I'm trying to be as competitive as possible.

I do a ten acre lot every month and I charge $80.00 per acre. I use a walco douglas 6 foot finishing mower and it takes about 4 hours to finish. So it comes out to $200.00/hr. Not bad money. What are you using to do the mowing?

An associate of mine does a high school field about 8.5 acres with 2 cub cadet ztr's and it takes him 3 hours. I don't know what he charges because it's by yearly bid for the contract including snow plowing and salting which I do not do. Here is a photo of the equipment I used to first cut the field and send it to you.
