I've re-read my post and I don't see where I said I don't like electronics. It's actually quite the opposite. If it has wires with electrons flowing, I'm all over it. I'm certainly no spring chicken but I'm not quite old enough to have farmed with horses. I sort of cut my teeth on a hand start WD-9 with an 8 foot disk and Van Brundt disk drill hooked behind the disk. No drill filler, other than a tin bucket and certainly no cab. Run monitor was looking back and trying to see through the cloud of dust, if the feeds were turning. Didn't have markers so we just sort of eyeballed the distance to the last pass. Of course, if it was dusty enough, you couldn't even see that all the time. So, as my farming career progressed, I graduated to a set of 8 foot LLA disk drills, then three 8 foot LZ hoes, then 42 feet of IH hoe drills, then a 50 foot Concord, a 56 foot with a bigger cart and finally I find myself running this 63 foot with an even larger cart. Every step makes a man more productive in both acres covered and quality of the finished job. None of this would be possible if not for the electronics that make it all work.
