If you're doing it because you like working on tractors , it's not your main source of income or you know the guy then it'll be lower than if you are a shop owner . If all you're bringing into it is some basic tools and your knowledge it'll be lower ( don't take that wrong those are both important ) but if you have to do any major work that requires buying additional or specialized tools ( or shop supplies ) then you need to give him an as per quote beforehand so you two can work it out . I'd ask for about half of the going rate of the dealers shops in the area . I don't work on others equipment so if I have to pay more than half I might as well go to the dealer and get some assurance that it'll be done right and in a timely manner . Remember that trust goes both ways when it comes to handing over hard earned cash . My cents worth ...Randy
