Mechanic/Farmhand

Father/self

On the family farm I maintain 100% of everything, including repairs and decisions made. Mostly smaller equipment, and vehicles as it's a small operation overall. About 40 things with engines. Plus my personal fleet of vehicles and some car re-selling on the side. Very few problems arise as I can predict what will need repaired next and prefer preventative maintaince over breakdowns.
