JD Seller said: (quoted from post at 06:05:25 06/18/10) I have been the service manager at two different John Deere stores, in the last twenty years. I see the people here complaining about how much a dealership charges. Most dealers make all of the profit in the service department on the parts sold through it. The labor makes very little profit when all of the costs are figured in. That labor charge has to pay all of the following: wages, health insurance, retirement, vacation time, sick leave, electric, water, heat, building maintenance, service tools. SO PAY for all of that and see what you make.
As for the dealer marking up the machining work 100%. I bet that you where paid as soon as you gave him the bill. The farmer might have paid it in thirty days.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
