Funny you should bring that up as I witnessed just that very thing just two days ago. On one side of the road was a feller working his fallow with a 986 and an old 15’ disc. Over on the other side of the fence was one of your articulated wonderments all tripled up and he had to be pulling a good 30 or 35’ of disc and his new, shiny 2005 diesel pickup sat at the end of the field. Yep, the big guy was covering more acres that’s for sure, but I’ll just bet that little feller with the 986 was happier and odds are that he was better off money-wise, because he was working for himself and not the banks, the financial intuitions or the implement companies. These big boys these days have prostituted themselves right into being indentured servants of the money boys. Compete you say? No, I’ve been there and I’ve done that. Took me a lifetime and one mighty long trip to the poorhouse to figure out that this is not a competition sport. Start competing with your neighbor and you are hurting no one except yourself. I’ll work with my own money, thanks and I need to impress absolutely no one. I like my scrawny little tractors. Allan
