What's your favourite tune when operating?

[yooper1]

Call me weird but...

I have been sort of arguing with myself on this general subject of tunes while on the tractor.

Up to now, I concentrate extremely on just operating the tractor safely. I do not want music, loud or soft, country or rock, to take my attention away from the tractor.

I have a hard enough time wearing ear toners as it is, thinking I am missing some subtle noise or something.

I guess I have to loosen up and enjoy the time on the machine.

And....after all this time, the voices in my head are getting boring to listen to

I don't listen to music when working, but maybe "she thinks my tractors sexy, My international harvestor, or John Deere greene would be appropriate.

I mostly just sing to myself, sometimes not out loud and it's mostly good ol' Christian church songs!

If I'm doing work with the FEL, grading the drive, and such I don't listen to music. However, when I'm mowing, Oh Brother, I'm either floating along with classical, or doing a boogy with blue grass, or laughing/fussing with talk radio. Needless to say, if I had neighbors they'd get a show.

Same here, I will talk to myself out loud, or sing hymns. I know it sound kind'a weird, but to me, there is just something about talking or singing out loud, when no one can hear, that I enjoy.

If I had a CD player mounted to my tractor it would have to be some Doc Watson.

Or John Hartford.

Depends on the mood and season, right now it is let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Hocus Pocus by Focus. Warm up music.

For all tractor activities I couldn't imagine listening to tunes. Full attention is on what I'm doing and the sounds of the tractor and equipment. There's too much personal and financial risk on the line to be distracted. These things have the power to cause serious damage or kill you in a heartbeat, couple that with complacency and not only are you just asking for trouble but also crossing the boundaries of due diligence, imo. Hope I haven't sucked the life out of this thread however.
