Those are some fine looking Versatiles!

I enjoy watching the Welkers as well. Just to point out: they did have some help from a seemingly very talented mobile mechanic named Brian in some of their episodes. Having access to ability of that caliber here in Alberta is something dreams are made of here. Now if only the hurricane conditions would desist in the outdoor shop, I could get to work on the sprayer.

I think there is a huge untapped market for mechanic consultants.
Experienced mechanics who don't necessarily want to get their hands dirty or abuse there worn out bodies anymore, could consult with farmers , truckers or equipment owners who have the infrastructure, manpower, and the tools but not necessarily the knowledge or confidence to tackle more complicated jobs.
If a mechanical also had access to the service manuals and diagnostic software, could be a match made in heaven.

That’s a great idea.

Got a few guys around here now , irreplaceable, and worth every dollar over a dealership. No one’s cheap anymore, they can’t be , but the individuals take pride hands down
