An alternative to a new and relatively expensive tractor is a well-running antique. They''re not quite as capable or dependable as a contemporary tractor, but they''re considerably less expensive. Small, still-working antique tractors such as a late-''40s or ''50s Farmall Cub or a low-riding, auto-style Ford 9N currently sell for about $2,500, a bit more if they''re outfitted with new rear tires or hydraulics. If at all possible, buy one with a newly rebuilt engine, an onboard hydraulic system, a rear-mount three-point hitch and one or two mechanical chicago-pneumatic12insquaredriveimpactwrench7inmodelcp749-2 power takeoffs (PTOs) rather than a drawbar. Invest in a modern underframe (Woods), rotary brush hog or field mower and other post-1950s attachments. Look carefully, because museum-quality antiques from the 1930s and earlier often lack hydraulics and PTOs (Polk''s, the Antique Tractor Magazine, published by Dennis Polk Equipment of New Paris Indiana (subscriptions 219-831-3555) and Farm Collector from the folks at Odgen Publications chicago-pneumatic12insquaredriveimpactwrench7inmodelcp749-2 in Topeka, KS (subscriptions 800-678-4883) are two great sources of info on older models better suited for displaying on the front yard than grinding in the cornrows). If you intend to do any really heavy work such as logging, trenching for soil-drainage pipe, digging in a septic tank or cutting a logging road through heavy woods, consider a full-size industrial tractor with a log grapple or excavating bucket on the front and a backhoe on the chicago-pneumatic12insquaredriveimpactwrench7inmodelcp749-2 stem. New, they cost five or six figures. Good used ones cost about $15,000.

Whether you purchase a scan tool, lab scope, power graphing multi-meter, or a console-type analyzer, you deserve a reasonable return on that investment. You can''t rely solely on increases in technician productivity to pay for this expenditure. Many car owners like to competitively shop prices for repairs. If a customer brings in a vehicle with a driveability problem and asks. "What''s wrong?" and "How much will it cost to fix?" there''s no guarantee you''ll get the job. If he or she thinks your price is too high, he or she may call another shop. Since the second shop doesn''t have to diagnose the problem because you already did, its price might be lower and you''ll be out the diagnostic time you put in.Diagnostic equipment should be its own profit center. That means charging separately for diagnostic time. More than 80% of repair shops now charge separately for diagnostic services. Use to following formula to figure your ROI:
