If you go into the workshop of the main dealer I use most you will only see machines less than 2 or 3 years old,they freely admit they get virtually no work on tractors or machines when the warranty runs out,and they are very good at what they do.Their labour rate is £65/hr,I can go 3 miles down the road and use a more independent engineer whose work is also very good for £35/hr.A lot of main dealers have had a very good last week of their financial year for obvious reasons,but the rest of the year has been awful,this coming year will be far worse I think.people are tending keeping stuff longer I find, but I don't think the main dealers are getting any more of the servicing and repair work due to this? partly cause people cant afford to pay main dealers service prices so they are looking else were for independents or doing jobs themselves.
