I'm an accountant and I know quite a few folks in my office that have paid more than $600 for a chair that they sit at their desk all day in. I paid $14 for a brand new seat cushion for my M the other day! ;-)

The big thing here right now is getting your field mapped by a GPS and Laser Leveling system and then have a computer design the correct contour system for your individual field. We aren't talking about crazy hills or anything, just very slight contours. Maybe 10 - 20 feet of drop on a section. Some pretty crazy looking S curves with the contours but it keeps the water in the field when it rains instead of running off and makes a big difference on yields.

Not a huge dramatic difference over the old way they were running their rows but a little bit of tweaking and using the computer to make the rows for them really has changed the run off just in the last few years on the fields right around my house. Center pivot irrigation systems are also pretty common here and the rows have to be perfect circles for those. I have no idea if they use brakes when they are plowing in a circle! ;-)

LOL, have fun! I think I'll get to work on my M some today!
