I've had quite a few requests for service work from these farms, and decided to start a mobile repair business. I charge $45/hour. They save money on the labor, and don't have to pay $$$$ to transport their equipment to a distant shop, and I don't have the overhead of shop space. So far I've got way more work than I can handle.
Cool,sounds like you will have your work cut out for you.A friend did the same thing for his scissor business.
