Doc,

I am not dusputing what you say; you absolutely know your stuff that is for sure. Heck, that's not hard to figure out; anyone can tell that fact.

What I'm saying is that you are looking at this and giving advice from the business end of a wrench. That's like me telling you never to turn your thermostat down 'cause someday it won't work anymore.

You only see the bad T/As, the broken ones. You don't see the good ones. Why should you? They work okay.

But, there are a thousand times more good T/As out there than there are bad ones. Bad T/As aren't the big "boogey-man" everyone makes them out to be. Broken T/As are the exception, not the rule.

I, on the other hand and from an operator's point of view, am telling you that yankin' that stick back at the end of the field does not hurt that T/A one little bit. If it did, I'm the joker who would have experienced it, that's for sure. Irrigated rowcrop is not easy on a tractor.

It is what the system was designed to do; drop the darned tractor into reduction.

For what it is worth, I'm 60 years old and just cannot believe I've experienced just pure, plain "luck" in all the millions of times I've pulled that stick back over the years ever since the days of the 400D.

Could be wrong tho, it is still fairly early in the day. :>)
