I know what you mean. All these "comfort and convenience" items to me makes it seem the general population is "getting soft". It wasn't really that long ago when the only people who had leather seats in trucks were oil rich Texans who didn't want to quit driving a truck even though they didn't really need a truck anymore.( don't worry, I wasn't bashing Texans, I love Texas!) Ludwig has good points about having a loader but not everyone has one, and manual steering has to be driven differently than power steering or you will wear yourself out, trick is to turn the wheel only as the tractor is moving and plan your turns in advance, If you do that you can lift your kids or your anvil at the end of the day. I can also see a good point about AC on tractors down south. That heat can just be plain brutal. I don't know, but things like radar, GPS, lap top computers, tissue dispensers, automatic butt wpiers and powderers, and things like that, come on! If you think you need radar, turn on the headlights or wait till the fog lifts to put it in high gear., GPS... look around you if you don't know where you are, you might be on the neigbors place. Tissue dispensers, If your sick get in bed, or get a kerchief, or if you don't have a cab just "snork" it off the side as you go and save the kerchief.Lap tops... I was born with mine sitting between my shoulders and I trust it to work better than a plastic brain from Japan. Don't get me wrong, Technology is a wonderful thing, I guess I enjoy the outdoors too much to be sitting indoors "pampered" while on the tractor, but some guys do like all the bells and whistles. I was at a few farm auctions last year that were selling newer equipment and some of the stuff that had "electronics" when the auctioneers said the stuff was working, they got all exited, so did some of the bidders! Tells me a lot of that kind of stuff out there doesn't work after a few years! I guess with all the "toys" they stick on machines these days, they don't have a good place left to put the oil filters where you can get to them! One thing is true, the more parts a machine has, is more chances of it breaking down and more cost to fix if you have to remove tons of things to get to the problem.
