Answer:
Farm tools can be very helpful to a farmer - just like all tools they improve the efficacy of the work the farmer does, making them more productive. It all depends on the tool and the job it is matched to. There is a gap between the tools that are being sold by various and sundry purveyors and the actual need of the farmer. So far, I have found that bigger is not always better vis-a-vis big tractors and the like. We have more recently purchased lighter tractors on our farm as they work better on wet ground which is what we are dealing with in our most recent wet Springs.
