Yeah, guys it seems kinda funny to me. For 50 years I've been a DIY person. I would have tore them apart, got some rouge and a buffer and buffed those pistons myself for 2-ish hours. Then pry out the guide bushings, clean it all up, install the o-rings and sealing rings, scraper and so on. I'd be 6 hours or more and $240 in materials but it would be done my way.
Now, I find I can just write a check and by magic in 2-3 days they come back all cleaned, painted, and ready to install. Takes me 20 min to put them back on and my wallet is lighter, but my tractor works just as well, and I didn't have to spend a full day in the shop.
This is on a 961 Ford with great rear tires, a strong engine and 6ft wide loader bucket. It does all the jobs I need and I only paid $1400 for it 4 years ago. Had some tuning problems for a while, and found a leak in the intake manifold. The next job might be a 12V conversion as it cranks pretty slow these days.
