i work at King Kutter/SFS truck and tractor sales. we build pull behind tillers, hay bale spears, dump truck beds, wagons, and stuff....basicly about any type of small equipment you find on a farm.
pay depens on what you are doing at the time. most things are paid by peice rate. which is fucked up.

for example, i have been cutting parts on the bandsaw this last week. one part which is just a peice of 2 3/4 OD 3/8 wall pipe cut at 3/8 thick pays 0.40 a peice. tack weld 2 peices of pipe together, slap it in the saw, use a peice of 3/8 scrap as a measuring guide and cut away. i make 0.80 each time the saw cuts. i can knock out about 100 in a hour. thats $40 bucks a hour.

BUT! on the other side. i was cutting 3"x3" 3/8 angle cut at 29 3/4 the other day. this stuff is a PITA. each stick is 20' long and there are 60 sticks to a bundle. so you gotta use the overhead crane to dig a bundle out of the racks, set it on the table, stack 5 sticks together, set up the stop on the saw, feed it thru, and cut, and then stack it on a pallet. that paid 0.09 a peice. it took me about 4 hours to cut the bundle which adds out to $6.75hr and i was bustin my ASS

today i was cutting 4" channel on the KTM saw (think water cooled chop saw) . one part that was cut at 102" paid $1.00 a peice. another part OF THE SAME SHIT!!! but cut at 132" only paid 0.30 a peice.

like i said..its fucked up, it seems that the bigger and heavier the stuff is the less it pays

I do Insulation and it's the same way. Some days I can make $300-$350 a day then some days just $100. It's fun though and easy money.

I hated the jobs I had like that. I would rather make less money and have the same check every week. Just my oppinion.
