I have a big ol' tractor. Well, not that big. I have a nice one! I have the L6060. I just use the furrower and shit spreader from the neighboring farm. I'm already tucked into the couch and on a tablet, else I'd go into more details. But, the neighboring farm is going to belong to me pretty soon. I'm waiting for the funds to finish transferring and the papers get signed on Monday, the 14th.
So, I'll then own a few more tractors AND I will own a giant excavator. I plan on trying to throw a car with it. I'm not even kidding.
But, that's mostly a business deal and I won't actually be doing the work on the farm. There are already some employees, but I'll need to hire two more. As I'm woefully unqualified, I will just oversee the hiring. There's a manager who can take care of that and he knows more about farming than I ever will.

Employ yourself in a way that makes you learn from them (as opposed to doing hard work). In other words, you're helping out but learning instead of wondering what you're going to do with all of that stuff if people can't make it in because the apocalypse, 10 feet of snow, or whatever.
Also, you'd better get a video of throwing the car.

Oh, I already help on the farm. I just don't call it work. I enjoy it. I go over most every day for a couple of hours. I usually do the stables and sometimes help with the milking.
And video will absolutely be provided. I'm going to hook up something like an old Omni and a quick release. Then, I'll lift it and the top spins pretty rapidly, so I should get some great centripetal forces going on. I'll need to do the math and figure out if it will actually take the stress as a live load, but that's been a dream of mine for like a decade.
I'm not even kidding. I'm pretty much a giant five year old. Now it will be mine and breaking it just means I have to get it fixed. I ain't scared.
