Worthwhile pointing out at this stage that using a screwdriver as a chisel might require the premature replacement of said screwdriver. Incorrect operation of a machine will also require parts replacement, just that the parts could likely cost 1000 or more times what the screwdriver cost.
As it used to say on my tool box ....... "The man who lends tools is on his holidays"
And BTW......... you started it ...... :tong :tong
Hi Nige,
I am one that cares about the owner's tractors and if they make money or not. As someone else mentioned, if you need to get an inside building corner or area to grade and there is no other tractor around, you may need to back drag the material out. Or say your building a pad with scrapers dumping chunky clay, you need to work the dirt a bit to get it smooth enough for the compacter operator does not bounce out of the seat. The expense of the wear on tracks back dragging can be less of the expense of trucks, scrapers, labors and others waiting for you to do all your work in forward gears. Time is money and if back dragging saves time with what your doing I think most owners are ok with that.
I learned with old wore out tractors 40 years ago and if you did not take some care in running the old stuff it would surely fall apart one you.
