What is it like being a tractor technician for companies such as John Deere?
I was also wondering what it is like being a tractor technician because I am not sure which to do, diesel mechanic or tractor technician. #farming #mechanic #technician #engineering

Times are unreasonable. If you have a question on how to do something they act like it’s a huge inconvenience
And they will work you while your off the clock.
Pros
Hour lunches and they will cook on the pit for you sometimes, cool salesman
Cons
Bad management, poor work environment
Great company atmosphere. Always well organized. Always striving for continued education and advancement. Great with customers and gives back to the community well
