Do you Text message while driving the tractor

[Giterdone]

Forget the safety issues. I get on the tractor precisely to escape the part of my world that involves cellphones, computers, the internet, etc.

I don't drive a tractor for hours on end in order to make a living so my reasons and needs are different than some of you. I don't even want the cellphone with me when I'm on the tractor.

My thoughts exactly.

I really don't consider TV a basic need, or the microwave that I use maybe 3 times a month, I'm also in the John Madden "no fly club". Now that toilet paper stuff, that was a good idea.

I never considered TV a basic need either, but apparently congress does since they spent however many dollars in DTV converter box coupons so that everyone could have television after the switch from analog broadcast.

If I am doing something that doesn't take a whole lot of attention, yup. Was texting and emailing while mowing a pasture today. Three hours of 4 MPH gives you plenty of time. Now had I been trying to run a tiller or a planter, nope. That will leave a year long evidence of my goof up.

1) Who has time to text while operating a tractor.
2) Who can type (text) using a phone keypad? I need a full size keyboard to type things here.
3) I can't hear a cell phone ring on the tractor. Even if I did I'd have to stop the tractor to talk and find out who called.
4) If I'm running the tractor I need to concentrate on the task at hand.
So I guess my answer to the question is no.
