Use-to-be

When you got done running the tractor for the day, you would let it cool down a bit and shut it off get off and go to the house.

Now when I shut down the planter tractor I have wait for the GPS mapping system to do a down load to the memory card that takes way longer than the cool down of the engine.

Also have to remember to shut down the planter monitor and the CB radio so the battery isn't dead the next morning.

The sprayer tractor is about as bad. Shut down the GPS light bar, the spray monitor and the power to the extra hydraulic valve splitter. Or you will have a dead battery the next day.

The reason I bring all this up was last evening when planting a rain cloud was brewing up and headed my way. I wanted to get out of the tractor and get the seed beans on the pickup to the shed before it started raining. Setting there in the tractor waiting for the download and watching that rain coming across the field seemed to take forever. At least 2 minutes.

Yes the bags did get a little damp before I got back to the shed. Also needed the 4 wheel drive in the truck to get there.
