Has to be extra for grouping, the grouper wasn't free, it has a maintenance cost and it slows you down. You'd need at least an extra £3 an acre, if they don't like it tell them to pay £6 an acre for a rake.

£12 to £13 around our way with the contractor supplying the diesel. It needs to be more, especially for small and awkward areas.

Me and 2 others are charging £15/acre, as you say its needed in small awkward places. I know one contractor in our area with JDs is charging £10 on his diesel.

There are a few about that are cheap, and not just for mowing. They'd be better off staying in bed.

I've seen that plenty of times before. Charge that by the hour and add on the price of blades, bolts etc.

Stones but also concrete in grass. Largest bit would have covered the base of a average wheel barrow. Luckily the mower escaped with a few odd blades bent. I picked up half a concrete block when raking as well.
Apparently previous tenant left a pile of muck but he hadn’t been to well mentally pre giving the ground up.

It was rolled as an attempt to find the debris only a few days pre mowing . Actually yielded 4.5 bales an acre over the block on third cut which I personally think wasn’t badHardly worth mowing that grass, lawn is longer

£10 per acre for a 3m mower conditioner. No idea about grouping as we scatter out all ours for haylage and then rake up at £6 an acre a few days later.
All done on contractors diesel: I would never allow my diesel to be used for any contracting job, unless perhaps as a top up in an emergency.

No not Clyde, although I do hear he is cheap at some things
