[AT] The last question I had on my list for December.

My least favorite job was running the edible bean harvester.  You ran a 
Farmal 140 in low gear at about 700 RPM all day long and you had to stay 
square on the rows or there was too much loss.
Favorite was hay raking with the farmall H (any tractor would be fine) or 
running the 24' IH Vibrashank cultivator with the Oliver 990 was also very 
relaxing as long as the muffler functioned (GM 2 cycle diesel!)  Cultivating 
beans was in the middle and could have moved up if the power steering on the 
Oliver 1850 could have been fixed to not fight all the time.  These were 
rear mounted cultivators and looking back was mostly counterproductive with 
the steering taking almost all the attention I cound muster.
