Default Equipment insurance

What are you guys paying on average for insurance coverage on your equipment?
I only have one ZTR and a push mower. Then the blower, string trimmer, edger etc.

I was quoted 3 grand a year.

Lawn care business tips
Seems high and a lot more than I pay for total equipment/business/liability/loss of use insurance, what does it include and did you try various companies for quotes?
