Floyd County, Iowa | Wow. That's a bunch. Not too many things you couldn't do yourself if you're mechanically inclined at all. Have you done anything (repairs/maintenance) to it since you bought it?
I used to take mine in for "free" inspection. Then I started paying them to have a tech come out and inspect it in my yard. Usually a couple hours for inspection, but I figure I can't justify driving it an hour each way for the cost of inspection at home. This way, I can be here and go over it with him as he does his thing. He doesn't mind me tagging along asking questions- at least he says it's OK with him. I figure that if I delay him an extra half hour, I'm paying for his time. He knows that unless it's something I won't tackle (like replacing the unload auger & such), I'll buy my parts from his store and do it myself. If I can't do it, he'll be doing it for me. He'll usually tell me if there is anything tricky about doing it. Might be the exception to the norm, but I appreciate his knowledge and help. Besides all that, he's really a nice guy to visit with. They aren't a mega-dealer, just 2 stores, so that may be why they're so helpful.
Sorry about the long post. | |
