Minimum rate example 8 hour minimum

I have a small job quote. Since just starting need the work. After watching the crew day rate video I have decided instead a 4 hour minimum I changed to 8 hour minimum. It entails 1/2 acre mulching and a 950 sq ft pad for a pole barn. The problem is it will require 2 machines since the mulching head is dedicated to one machine. It is a 40 minute drive to the site. The rental cost just for the cat299 with mulching head is 2785. ( rental Quote) the other machine with smooth bucket is 500 day. As much as I want work in order to get my name out there I will have to do a hefty markup on the rentals in order to make profit off machines. This would be a 1-2 day job. Any advice would be helpful?
