[AT] Oliver Super 55

Charlie, your right , the gps and auto steer work quite well and are no
doubt very efficient. I can see some real advantage to GPS at times when I
am trying to finish spraying a crop when darkness is shutting me down.  But
as far as I am concerned, most of the fun of farming is being able to drive
my tractor myself and that includes holding onto the steering wheel. I know
I am hopelessly set in my ways and resistant to change but I'll keep farming
the "old fashioned way".
