imo nothing can be too rugged that said i work in a factory we have our own draftsmen and engineers they design our equipment they seem to try to show off their talent by designing machines with unique characteristics for example we use pop up tipples simple up and down with about 7 feet of clearence underneathe the line a simple 2-4 air cylinders pushing it up and down would work fine but no they design what they call a swing arm one tiny air cylinder has to roll the whole frame work up and down approx. 560 times an 8 hour shift round the clock the tipple weighs about 1500 pounds after a year or so they are plum wore out then we lose valuable down time to wel on top of weld these things to work why do they have to complicate things when a simple design might cost a whisker more to start but will save lots in the long run sometimes simple brute strength is the way to go as im sure was the theory behind these old tractors
