Back in my PCA days, I had a customer who had low fields with a couple of ditches. About the worst looking backhoe I had ever seen was sitting spradle-legged, with the hoe flat on the ground, near one ditch. I laughed and commented, "looks like that's where the ole gal gave up the ghost." He said, "Yeah, its been in that spot for 15 years.

Does it in late summer, when the ditch is dry, so doesn't have to deal with mud. He's on great terms with the neighbors, and nobody ever seems to hear a thing. When the night's work is done, he puts the machine back in exactly the same position. Its been working for him for many years.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
