Back then what had to be done got done the hard way because there was no other way.
Then someone went to work, (Get it?), and invented tractors and other machinery to make work easier which in turn created more work in maintaining and repairing this machinery etc.
I grew up on a small family farm run by my grandparents. My father and my uncle had both left the farm for other work. I've milked cows by hand into a bucket, hand cranked a separator and a turnip pulper, cleaned the gutters with a shovel into a manure carrier on an overhead track which was dumped into a spreader in summer/fall or into a pile in winter/spring which was then loaded by hand into the spreader when the ground firmed up enough to spread it without tearing the fields up. I'm sure many here have done the same or similar.
That's a lot of work. My grandfather retired when I was 16 and I finished high school and went to work at various jobs mostly in the construction industry, poured a lot of concrete on many jobs.
Finally got into auto and machinery repair and worked at that until I retired two years ago. I've done enough work.
It's all work, some easier, some just as hard and maybe some harder. A lot of work these days is very hard mentally on some people, others not so much.
It's all work, anyone who says different is a liar.

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
