it's extremely hard to get a tractor stuck..... and if you do.... it's freaking scary.... specially if they start sinking... (REALLY not good)

If a tractor runs out of Fuel (correction, GAS is not something you want in a tractor..... enless it's a Gas Combustion engine ) it's pretty annoying to prime the entire fuel lines.... (usually everyone keeps them above 1/4 tank..... hills tend to be one reason)

Keep in touch.... erm... no.... usually it's phone for parts.... when super will be available.. IF it's being brought out to the field.... if so and so can come out and move equipment..... etc.

Statistically, Farmers are on the phone more often then majority of the Urban dwellers .... to a factor of nearly 3 times longer....

ATM, I beleive Semi drivers are on the phone nearly 20x more then farmers..... interesting?
