[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1464838, member: 27848"] 120 miles (each way) plus time to do the work plus trip back home plus stocking inventory. If a senior citizen as may be the case, for that a motel room for the night might be a necessity, considering he may not have been so fortunate as to fix it in 2 hours. As farmers/ranchers you know about being broken down in a field far from your homestead. You know what it means to have the concern of what to fix, can it be fixed, do I have the right parts, do I have access to the right parts......on and on. The guy drives 120 miles, his time, his equipment, his fuel, who knows what's at the end of the road. What happens if he forget something or brought the wrong parts, or can't fix the equipment? Seems to me a lot of stress there plus the dwindling availability of someone to fix your problems. I'd look at it as "what was it worth to me to have the equipment working?" If you feel justified in spending what you did to have your dryer running and saving your crop, what difference does it make what the guy charged............and oh my gosh "made some money in the process"?
