Guys now be nice. I can see where he is coming from. Having worked as a mechanic and farmed I can honestly say that a lot, not all, but a lot of farmers don't know squat about fixing anything except another drink while they attempt a repair. I've sworn that the last statement is true because I'd rather think these guys were drunk rather than stupid when they did so repairs. My BIL is a prime example. Ran a tractor about 2 years jumping the solenoid with a screw driver. I when over there and repaired the wiring harness. Took about an hour and when done he stands there and said "I could have done that". Breaks a paddle chain on his combine that bends the shaft that also works the straw walkers. Gets a new shaft, his son, just graduated from a AG mechanics program and I both told him to replace the chain. He says "I can make that chain work". 4 hours back in the field the chain breaks again and takes out the new shaft. I know that a lot of guys like me running smaller operations have to buy equipment based on price and then make repairs. It's amazing how many guys are selling "field ready" stuff that isn't. I think the original poster was just saying that guys need to be more honest about what they are selling and that some farmers should be barred from thinking about tools.
