The Cotton & Gin Show

WLM and I get our annual dose of farming technology

 
they let you climb up all over these things... cd player, a/c, air ride seat... the works
 
an 18 row tiller (that's me on the other end there). keep in mind that all this stuff is inside @ the cook convention center
 
apparently you can switch out your tires and put these on in just 30 minutes. in theory, the 'bigger footprint' helps you navigate soft soggy terrain better
 
 
WLM suffers from 'sticker shock' on some of the machinery on display
 
 
some dude was selling these. he took a ryobi drill and attached it to a grease gun.
 
i'm up there familiarizing myself with the controls. WLM noticed that while all the real farmer types examined these machines from the ground (see bottom left of photo) guys like us all wanted to climb into the cab and goof with the windshield wipers.
 
just to give this all some scale, that is a 2000 lbs weight bolted onto the front
