Just out of curiosity how much per hour do dealers in your area charge for labor for repairs. Here Deere, Kubota, and New Holland charge from $85 to $99 an hour. Massey charges $75.

Are local dealerships JD, case, Massey, newholland are in the same ranges.
independent guy who does the best work is $65 but has to bring in the dealer service techs to do the programing on the newer computer stuff since it is proprietary.

Yeh that would be right they get you by the short and curlies, they manufacture stuff so that they have exclusiveness so that you have to take stuff to them to plug in the computer and then the cost goes up.

my jd's brakes locked up in the rear.. i contacted JD for a estimate. they wanted 2600. that included the 200 in parts to fix.
took it to my buddies shop and we had it apart and back together in 6 hours and that was just BS'ing around. I'm sure a JD tech could of did it in 5 hours.
I was about to call them and ask if they were charging me 450/hr in labor on that.
