Well fellas, yesterday I went and put in my application at the local case/kubota/mahindra dealership. It is the biggest tractor dealership in the area. The only other two major ones are the john deere dealership which isn't a very big place and the new holland dealership which doesn't get much buisness. I asked the service manager about the training schools and he said that kubota has at least one or two a year in Houston and case has at least one a year in memphise tennessee. I am getting close to finishing my vo-tech schooling, I have completed two years and have about 7 months left so if I get the job they will place me on a co-op program where I work full time except for one day a week I would still attend vo-tech school. My teacher said that with all the knowledge I have, I am worth $8 or $9 an hour starting out but I am happy with what ever they feel like paying me as long as I can stay two or three years and get some experience. At that dealership they were two mechanics short cause two of them had quit cause they started cutting peoples hours back since it is the slow time of the year. As of right now, two mechanics work over there and another one just started. They do have quite a bit of work to do in the shop so I would be buissy. They even had the front axle pulled off of a case magnum!!!!! So what kind of advice could you fellas give me about case and kubota or anything having to do with the job? Thanks in advance!!!!!

i agree with motrack. usually a more experienced guy will help a new guy who really wants to learn. i started working at ditch witch when i was 18, sweeping and putting away parts. an older guy started showing me the ropes, and soon i was doing all the differential rebuilds, and lots of "parts changing" jobs, and worked up from there. depending on you personal situation, buy all the tools you can while you are young, and dont have a mortgage and kids to take care of. and buy the best you can, all the tool truck guys let you make payments. i started buying expensive tools and a cheap toolbox...the box doesnt earn you money. eventually i bought what was the biggest snap on box. best of luck.

no "green horn" is going to be making $30 hr just starting out. money will be better in industrial than in ag but you pay your dues and work up to the big money.

Eil.... where ever you go befriend the old timers working there and LISTEN to what they say. you will learn more from them then years of tech school. was taken under the wing by a few oldtimers when I was a pup..... some of the best training I ever received.
