Too many variables involved. How big are the trees? How many? Is it on the side of a mountain?

I'd give him a daily rate for a feller and swamper(helper). My minimum daily rate for easy on the ground felling is 300 bucks, another 100 for the swamper.

You should be able to do about an acre a day, so around 9K will give you a 1K cushion. If you finish early, only charge him for the days worked, all parties should be happy.

Charge him 400 bucks for one day, see how much you can get done, then firm up the contract price based on the results.

Hard to go wrong with a daily rate contract.

I still am all for the rate of sorts wither it be hourly or daily. I have done this sort work a couple of times and the the hourly rate is what I chose to do worked quite well. The customer was happy and I was richer. All was well.

I would go with an hourly rate. That way it doesn't matter what you run into, you're getting payed the same. If the guy doesn't want you he can fire you anytime, just punch out and tell him to pay up.
