What do you think is a good hourly subcontractor rate and minimum for me with my mini and bmg to help local arborists who are without iron?
I'd say that I'm pretty solid on the machine, and pretty efficient at doing what's needing to be done. Good at directly feeding my chuck and duck, which I suspect is harder than an a hydraulic feed, 12" machine. I have the hitch for towing chippers and trailers into place. I typically move my 4400 pound chipper around, off-road. A BC1000 or BB250 would be 25% heavier.
Mini is 2700 pounds, 1050 pound for 50% lift capacity, 32HP.
