[QUOTE="Campbell, post: 7776285, member: 180"] The Ag machinery business is unique. Supplying such a vast range of expensive kit, and then to be fully conversant with all the service and repairs required. I can't think of many other businesses that would take that on. You certainly do need to have an engineers/farming instinct to be able to deal with all this kit as well as dealing with the 'customers'. From simple hay tedders to top end combines and tractors all supplied and serviced from the same company. Specialist one product manufacturers/dealers obviously have a big advantage when it comes to service, so you really can't compare the two. In previous times, new employees went around with the service engineer, hopefully learning the trade, before manufacturer service training came along. It's a funny old world when the practical type folks in overalls, that keep the world operating, aren't always well rewarded... [/QUOTE]
