Length of time being a dealer has no bearing most of the time. Every job that goes through the shop in theory has to turn a profit. I have been told been a few shop managers that some jobs are near impossible to make money on. Or at the least they have a customer that is sore that the job cost more than the tractor is worth. They can't run a Jubilee or a Farmall 300 through the shop for a major overhaul and have it scale relative to what the tractor is worth. They have a shade tree guy that they use directly or they will just refer the customer to that same mechanic. The Mennonites here will bill for less than half of what a dealer shop will per hour. It kind of works out well for both parties as the dealer really does not want the old tractors and the shade tree guys do not want to buy all kinds of electrical diagnostic equipment. Getting back to the original post as I stated in my previous post the dealer is probably trying to put the cheapest guy in the shop on the OP's tractor.
