Brush Hogging and Field Mowing Invoicing App (2026)
For a solo tractor operator, ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) bills per acre or per hour with a job minimum, adds a travel fee for distant fields, and sets recurring invoices for customers on a seasonal cut schedule — with card, cash, and check tracked in one ledger.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page. Tools were judged on the solo operator's real workflow — per-acre and hourly billing with minimums, travel fees, and recurring seasonal cuts — not on fleet dispatch.

The solo operator’s real workflow
Brush hogging is seasonal, rural, and travel-heavy. The tractor spends as much time on a trailer as in the field, and that time is invisible on a per-acre quote.
A minimum plus a travel fee is what makes the small distant jobs viable.

Frequently asked questions
What does a solo brush hogging business need from software?
Per-acre and hourly rates with a job minimum that covers loading and hauling the tractor, a travel fee past your radius, and recurring invoices for seasonal customers. Dispatch matters when you have machines to assign.
What do I get with ShowTheReceipts for $15/month?
Quoting, invoicing, on-site card payment, and cash and checks in one tax-ready ledger. Recurring invoicing and automated reminders are Pro-plan features at $39/month.
Should I have a job minimum?
Yes. Loading, hauling, unloading, and driving home costs the same whether the field is one acre or five. A minimum around the value of a half day of work keeps the small jobs from being charity.
