I don't know what shop rates/service call rates are like around your area but around here an agricultural service call is $70 base charge (Canadian funds) + travel time @ $95/hour . The clock starts running when the mechanic leaves the dealership and stops when he gets back.
The construction/industrial dealers charge a much higher rate. Usually $150 to start and I have heard as high as $175 per hour for travel time and labour.
