I just bought a tk 1220 with a total of 26 feet of bed. Kinda new to cutting so I was wondering what would be a good hourly rate for a million of that size?  Any in put is wwelcomed.

Welcome to the FF, Dusty29693

Pricing is a business/regional thing, you need to know what your fixed cost's are
there are many variables to consider

There are some threads on the board
from folks who know much more than I about this very subject
If you can access it, go the the Business and Management section

ofhttp://www.forestryforum.com/board/index.php/topic,80992.msg1232620.html#msg1232620 lots of good reading in this thread,
I will add a welcome to you as well, and will just say sawing for a short while for your own with varying lengths and sizes will give you the best info in what you might need to charge and the time it takes to do the job,  hope your venture goes well for you,
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

When I had my manual mill I used to charge $35/hr.
