Things will break. Costs isn't everything, time to fix matters. An older tractor can usually be repaired on the same day on-site, causing a few hours of downtime; a newer tractor that will be returned from service in a week causes a huge loss of productivity.

- jjk166 5y agoSeems like it would be easily addressed the way car repairs are: insurance pays for a rental while yours is in the shop. So long as peoples equipment isn't all breaking down at the same time, a service with just a few pieces of equipment could probably service a large area. That way you can also get proper repairs done, rather than having to do a quick hack that gets you back up and running by whatever deadline you have but causes long term problems.
