$300/hr for that machine would be crazy money here... your equipment overhead would have to be astronomical (perhaps plausible in SF/LA) or the operating expense being very high (grinding in a lot of rock for example).
My little Bandit burns 3 gallons of gas an hour, Green Teeth last 20-30 hours without an adverse event, and the machine would be ~$19k new. $100 hour is good money for it, but my bid target is 2x that. Two weeks ago I put 73 minutes on the engine and billed $600 in grinding. Granted those are cherry picked jobs, my stump grinding sub grinds most of my stumps.
