Re: Farming Under the Influence

Most don't realize when your in these things you can't hear nothing but a radio. It's easy to get side tracked, when your jamming out. Plus I bet most of these happened at night. Big tractors are cool as ****.
 
Re: Farming Under the Influence

A combine is the worst for this brad. You can't see **** and can't hear anything with NO radio on. Chopped? I believe most all of them. **** goes horribly wrong in a hurry with **** this big. Now the hoe, maybe so.
 
Re: Farming Under the Influence

I've never been in anything as big as pictured exept maybe a pan. My buddy's McCormick has a cab and, when I'm bushhogging with it I can't even tell if the engine's bogging down, more less if I hit anything I shouldn't have with it.
 
Re: Farming Under the Influence

its amazing how much damage is done to some of those tractors....wtf hit them or wtf did they hit to cause it.....
you are right, that **** is noisy and definately not smooth riding either, so if you run something over you wont hear or feel it.

no man the new generation og equipment is nicer inside than a Benz. Airride seats, ergonomic controls, Hepa filtered airsystems, gps/nav/satlink, stereos with mp3 players, heated seats. the the whole cabs are vibration controled. Not joking more comfortable than a new luxery car. and most have touch screen sensor/system monitoring

but thats brand brand new (some of it).
you should see the active seat in the construction john D's. you can go 4mph across a set of whoops on a MX track and fall out of the seat normally, or go 6+mph across the same whoops with the active seat keeping you level as the tractor dances around you. $12K option.
 
Re: Farming Under the Influence

new sprayers are awsome 20+ mph spraying across a rough field and never feel a thing on air bags
combines and cottonpickers still kinda rough but they are so heavy and you are generally goin slow
 
Re: Farming Under the Influence

I've been in numerous "road building excavators" over the years when I worked with my dad. It's easy to fall asleep when it gets monotinous and the heat and you slip into "the zone". I've had to take quite a few breaks and run around before. :spin:

Its pretty sad really, most of the guys my age or younger that I went to school with and went back home to farm all get high on the tractor.
You spend 16-20 hours a day at 10mph during plant and harvest, so they just just smoke up. Get high and forget about it. The new GPS tractors are all dailed for field position so audible alarms can be set to go off if you are deviating in your line, and when to commence your turns.

Crazy **** but nowadays these guys get yeild data from harvest and it all gets plugged and cross checked with soil quality tests. Then when it comes to the plant, the grain drills are all GPS linked and computer operated to speed up and slow down the seed count depending on the ability of the ground to grow. Less fertile, the seed count drops, more fertile the seed count goes up.

Just throwing seed in the ground at the same rate over all your ground is a waste of seed in some areas, and is lossing you money in others by not fully utilizing your dirt.
Farming has come along ways in the past 10 years. I seriously foresee one farmer sitting in his truck, and computer dispatching a handful of tractors in the near future. Give them GPS plots and start them.

your buddy that we went and saw at UC right before your grad was saying that was what he was going to go do. sit in the truck and let the tractors run. He's getting his wish 7 years later.
 
Re: Farming Under the Influence

You have to figure the sleep factor as well. I drove on a farm a few times. It is so boring. I would leave the barn in the morning and at mid day the farmer would bring me lunch and tell me to turn around. I can see falling asleep then that big pig rolling off in a ditch or huge slop hole.
 
Re: Farming Under the Influence

I get bored bushhogging a small field :dunno: I would def fall asleep though in a nice enclosed tractor. I was running a small trackhoe this past summer (Kubota KX161) with a hammer bustin rock. and that **** is really boring, I dont mind diggin holes but that **** sucked. Had the Ipod on, if it were not for the noise and vibes, I would have been out cold
