Plus a good field mechanic is going to have built a rusted relationship with a big clientele base, so when they move into sales they have relationships to work with.
As a short line dealer I would agree with this sentiment. I've witnessed Deere's ag division force solid single stores to sell to larger operations or face the hammer. Deere company makes it impossible to service their engine when it is used in another mfg piece of equipment. Got a tractor down on Sunday night of harvest? Good possibility you won't be able to fix without a weekend service call from the high priced Deere store. The dealerships do well but many of the farmers around me see through the BS. Though there are still some die hards that would still buy even if John Deere himself punched them in the nads on a daily basis.
Deere did this with both the small dealers that were around us in the last couple years. One merged and one got the hammer. Sad because the one that lost there dealer rights were the best one to deal with, family owned and they really cared about doing right by you with parts etc.

Active duty Army 91l Heavy Construction Equipment repair for 4 years. Girlfriend can go with him if they are serious.
A woman with a good career is better yet. My wife retired from the medical field and made our lives much easier instead of a one income family.
