| Flat Rate Guide |
The Flat Rate Guide for combines and agricultural tractors over 40hp is a practical tool that helps dealers in their service departments. The guide lists realistic repair times for the service shop and is essential for Pacific NW Association members as it gives service times based on real world situations. This service department Flat Rate Guide had been published using information from dealers across North America to give reasonable guidelines for major repair operations.
The Flat Rate Guide helps the dealer accomplish a number of objectives:
- Generating accurate estimates based on flat rates
- Utilizing flat rates as a distinct billing source
- Enabling realistic estimates on important jobs
- Facilitating "all makes" service where appropriate
- Helping to determine trade-in values by estimating repair costs
- Analyzing the productivity of service operations and technicians
The Flat Rate Guide covers combines and tractors over 40 hp all the way back to 1980 from the following manufacturer lines:
- Allis-Chalmers
- AGCO
- Case-IH
- Caterpillar

- Massey Ferguson
- New Holland

Repair times are listed for internal engine components such as injection, fuel, hydraulic, water pumps, radiators, air conditioning, compressors, alternators and starters.
The flat rates are compiled using "real world" data by blending actual times spent by over 66 dealers throughout North America. Contact Pacific NW Association for assistance.
