[QUOTE="Lowland1, post: 6977467, member: 66524"] I like tractors and machinery because of the jobs they do not just because I like shiny paint although having started with nothing (most of which I still have) it's nice to be able to buy reasonable stuff. I don't have to sit on a tractor I can find plenty of cheapish labour here to do that but I enjoy doing it when I am not doing the miriad of other jobs that are part of being a Farmer not Labourer. It's easy here in Africa to send someone off into the field to do the work and as such maybe that's like having an autonomous machine but being in the fields especially with my cropping is very important and you see a lot more from the tractor seat than on foot just by virtue of travelling more ground. With regard to spraying for the last two months it has been my job and I have really enjoyed it and probably saved myself a lot of money by looking over the crops and being able to make informed decisions (I don't have autosteer but do have autoshut off on the sprayer so I am not totally against technology). I personally would rather pay someone to do the jobs I don't like such as office work and do the fun stuff myself. [/QUOTE]
