    Field mechanics are under appreciated by most shop mechanics. Nothing like working in the dirt manure heat and cold plus trying to work without shop tools and equipment. We farm 5200 acres raise cattle and custom farm. We still take pride in our machines and we do most of our own mechanic work . The preventive service on equipment is very important and in most cases when done right and regularly can save time and thousands of dollars. Stay safe and keep up the good work !

      Do you recommend other career field than diesel mechanic? I have a lot of back issues and it takes me a while to learn new things. So I’m kind of hesitant to go into this field. Especially since most blue collar guys that I know personally. Usually don’t have patience for someone like me. :/

It is the fact that you acre and understand that any livestock farmer will be more than thankful that someone is prepared and willing to go out to the farm and fix vital equipment such as this feedtruck so that animals can be fed as this year there will be no dealer (for parts) or other mechanic willing to help. (it is likely that no one would be available for at least three days with it being Christmas Day, boxing day and a weekend!!)

    Warren, I've said it before. You'd be wise if you added a tank to the compressor in your shop and on your truck. It can double or triple your air capacity. Contrary to belief, the compressor doesn't work any harder than what it already does, in fact, can work less. Just a suggestion is all this is. :)
