# Agricultural Implement Repair Shops

*/CompanyTypes/Agricultural_Implement_Repair_Shops*

Key roles: Service Manager, Ag Equipment Mechanic, Mobile Field Technician, Diesel Technician, Shop Foreman, Service Writer, Parts Manager, Parts Counterperson, Warranty Clerk, Hydraulic Technician, Welder/Fabricator, Precision Ag Specialist, Dispatcher, Yard Coordinator. Departments: Service Bays, Field Service, Parts Counter, Service Reception, Welding & Fabrication, Hydraulics & PTO Service, Warranty Administration, Yard Operations.

## Digital Scalar

**Band**: physical
**Digital**: 0.15
**Rationale**: The company description lists heavily physical roles (Ag Equipment Mechanic, Diesel Technician, Welder/Fabricator) operating in physical departments (Service Bays, Welding & Fabrication). Supported by the grounding note citing employment of Industrial Machinery Mechanics and Electric Motor Repairers, the core value-producing work is the hands-on maintenance and repair of heavy machinery, firmly placing this in the physical band despite minor orchestration roles like Dispatcher and Warranty Clerk.
