You guys must be city folk. I drove one of those when I was ten.

I agree MTU--Anyone who finds driving a combine around a field in the middle of the night to be "cool" needs to get out of the city more.
Speaking of which...
One day a guy from the city was driving down a rural road, and out in the middle of the adjacent field, he sees a farmer assisting a cow having a calf. The farmer is pulling, but the cow is clearly distressed and the farmer is getting tired. So the driver stops, walks out in the field, and offers to help. After half an hour of pulling on the calf, it finally comes out.
While the cow is licking her calf clean, the farmer turns to the guy and says, "Thanks so much for the help! What can I offer you for your time?"
"Oh, I'm fine--although I would appreciate it if you could answer one question for me."
"Sure--What is it?"
"Just how fast was that calf going when it hit the cow?"

OK, one more....
A farmer has a sow who is about to give birth. While monitoring her, he realizes that his out of iodine to dip the piglets' navels in. He wants to run to town to get some, but doesn't want to leave the sow unattended. He has a friend from the city visiting them at the time, so he asks the city guy to watch the sow while he's gone.
While he's gone, he realizes that he forgot to tell his city friend to make sure the piglets stay away from the sow's snout for a while. (For those of you who didn't grow up around pigs--after giving birth, most sows eat their placenta and afterbirth. However, for reasons not entirely known, some--not many--sows will also eat the piglets if allowed. It's suspected that the sows smell the piglets, which still smell like the placenta at that time, get confused, and eat them.) But he decides not to worry about it--surely his friend will realize what's happening and stop this if it occurs.
When he gets home, he goes out to the hog barn--and just as he is approaching the sow's pen, he sees a newly born piglet get up on its legs, take its first steps toward its mother's head--and get eaten in one chomp.
Horrified, he yells out at his city friend, "How could you let that happen?!?"
"Oh that. Don't worry about it!", replies his friend. "That piglet's been through her seven times already, and still doesn't have a scratch!"

On the contrary, I grew up in the countryside and worked for a farmer most of my young adult life. How a true gear head cannot not find farm machinery "cool" is beyond me. But then I am impressed with many things mechanical, Diesel Locomotives being among my favorites followed by tractors of all sorts. Just take a look at the tires on my lawn tractor for cripes sake.

I could never find running Tractors boring especially when they are Green. I can ride a tractor all day especially when some Disturbed or Korn playing in the background. My grandpa or Dad do not even know what music I play when I am by myself. They would crap if they knew. :lol:

Apple started making tractors when my wife started looking at me when the baby mud butt and diapers started. I turned and said "imow" and quickly made beeline for the garage.
