Priced the way Heavy & Ag Equipment work is billed
A field service call and a undercarriage / tracks don't get quoted the same way, so why would every trade? SideWRK prices Heavy & Ag Equipment the way the work is really billed: by the hour + parts (default rate ~$135/hr). Tap the work, put in the numbers, and the line prices itself — no napkin math, no undercharging a job because you rushed the quote.
What moves a Heavy & Ag Equipment price
Two Heavy & Ag Equipment jobs that look the same on paper can be a hundred dollars apart once you're on site. Here's what actually changes the number — the things to size up before you quote:
- Travel and field time — you bill from the shop to the job site, so a remote breakdown is windshield time you shouldn't absorb.
- Engine hours, not age — the hour meter tells the real story, and a high-hour machine needs more than a low-hour one the same year.
- Diesel emissions systems — DPF, DEF, and SCR work is specialized, and it prices above a straight hydraulic or undercarriage repair.
What a Heavy & Ag Equipment job puts on the record
Every trade documents something different, and Heavy & Ag Equipment is no exception. SideWRK captures the engine-hour meter in and out — not a VIN and the rest of what your work needs on the record — the details that protect you and make the invoice stand up:
- the engine-hour meter in and out — not a VIN
- the serial or PIN number
- the emissions tier (Tier 1 through Tier 4 Final)
- a ROPS, PTO, and forklift safety check
- a diesel-emissions guard (DPF/DEF/SCR/EGR)
Example note on a job: "Repaired to operational — advised undercarriage nearing replacement."
