tractors create work!!

[rbargeron]

Every tool is an extension (multiplication) of our own ability to shape the environment with our hands and minds. And everyone has a different "scale of operations" that brings them satisfaction. Whether it's a planter box on a city fire escape, or a thousand acres, there's a hand trowel or 300 hp tractor that's just the ticket. And using any tool leads to more that needs doing - ain't it grand? Keeps us all alive.

Gotta add my 2 cents..

My wife is an avid gardener..always ordering 5 yards of mulch, 8 yards of top soil...etc. used to take me a couple of week ends to move it all by cart. Now it gets done in an hour.

She calls the tractor my toy..HA..Her gardens never looked so good! It's her toy, I just run the thing!!!

If she ever learns how to drive it, I might just become obsolete!

Yep, JD, that's what they did to me./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif A few years ago a neighbor asked me to rake hay for him and I did; thought I was doing a good job. Then he asked me to run the baler and let him rake. He raked some the way I'd been doing it, and then started raking it right./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

You start rembering weather you need an odd number of rows to get you to the next field, or an even number to get you back to an empty wagon. Draging a baler across a big field with a wagon you are losin' 10 minutes here, having to go across the field to p/u a new wagon you lose another 10 or 15 minutes. If you keep that up, before you know it you've lost an hour or two and 5 or more gallons of fuel. . . .
