Is it normal practice to load hay on your place using your equipment (versus the customer bringing his own loader)? If it is, then I would think partial compensation would be fair but not necessarily required. Around here, a seller would be expected to provide his own operator for his own equipment. If you loading is an exception I would push for at least half or better. Generally, around here borrowing is kept to a minimum (run your old junk and be proud of what you have) and tractors usually go out with owner operating it. Either pay cash for the time or trade some of your equipment time in return. I've done both. I would go the body shop route (maybe 150 dollars) and not push the issue too hard to preserve goodwill. I would agree with those that say that being a hard head might make a person feel superior in the short term, but somewhere down the line the shoe may be on the other foot. You may need something from him or someone else and that gesture of goodwill will do a lot for a person's reputation. There is a fellow in the community here that will not do anything for anybody and at his age he is going to need to start leaning to others and it has been well discussed in the community the brush off some will give when that day comes.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
