Plowing a Field

Today I did a job I thought I would never do. I plowed a field. I have seen lots of movies where a man is out plowing a field all day. And while I wasn't using a horse or other traditional ways that have been used for hundreds of years, I still plowed a field.

This machine was supposedly "self-propelled" but believe me, it wasn't. There is no way that thing was moving without me. I had to push and pull that thing with all my might at times even if the wheels would spin on there own.

In the end, once I finally figured out I needed to actually turn the plow feature on, not just have the wheels spinning, I thought the field turned out nicely. But it was a lot of work, but I suppose less than it would have been in earlier times.
