[AJD] picking cotton

[astroguy at nas.com]

Wandering around the back roads close to the Gobi desert.

They sell small tractors out here in Dunhaung (16-24hp???), the engine
layout similar to 2 cylinder JD, with a large belt pully on the right side
where we see a clutch on the JD.  The wheel pully with 4 belts runs a shaft
for the transmission, interestimg way to transfer power to the transmission.

I see tractors being used to haul trailers for produce and cotton but never
see the tractors used in the fields.  All the cotton is still picked by
hand!!!!
