Overview
Brock batches four garden-tilling jobs into a half-day run with a John Deere 2038R and 5.5-foot tiller, then breaks down the real economics: setup and travel time, his two-pass technique, why he doesn't price by square footage, and why $50 per garden only makes sense when jobs are clustered. Most useful for compact-tractor owners considering a small tilling side business.
An owner-operator channel that documents paid real-world jobs, so the perspective is a working farmer sharing practical experience rather than a dealer or manufacturer.
