Proud moment A new chapter as Specialised Rebuild Services Australia is off to a strong start, with 1 of 3 Major rebuilds completed for the year. I couldn’t be more thankful for the team behind it. The commitment, skill and teamwork make all the difference. Exciting times!

At a servo on the way to Perth Fuel = $1.70/litre, comes to Australia via a ship from a Singapore. Mount Franklin Water, comes out of the sky for free (yes, it’s cost money to collect and filter it), $4.50/Litre. How can water be $2.80/litre (165%) more expensive than fuel?

5 years ago I bolted two free toolboxes on my Landcruiser and went out by myself. Never did I think about employing staff, let alone being able to purchase a new truck. Safe to say things got a little out of hand, with a fleet of 4 service vehicles and multiple (amazing) staff!

After a few beers at the soccer in Vancouver, ended up in the San Diego cheer squad with a group of Americans and Mexicans! Great time! #canada

Saving another farmer $5k! 8370RT rear hub failure, sealing surface built up and machined back to spec, axle spindle machined down fitted with a sleeve after bearing spun 0.5mm off the shaft. Both parts over $7k from Deere. $2k later and we are back in spec! @srsaus

Volvo FH16 getting an extra 80HP. Engine is still within OEM parameters. At just $36/hp. Much cheaper than getting higher hp from factory 👌🏼@Truckecopower @AgroecopowerAus

Well worth the watch! Explains a lot of misconceptions around right to repair! Some great ideas on how dealers should go about this as well with a shortage of experienced Ag mechanics!

The culprit, after nearly 10,000hrs the harness fell in between two pipes and rubbed together. $700 bit of exposed copper right there….

Australian farmers. What are you paying for a Ag/Diesel mechanic to repair your agricultural equipment. I will use my business as an example. We do almost anything that’s on a farm. We can do 95% of what a JD dealer can do and more! Workshop,service Ute’s, trucks with crane etc.
