where is my tractor

When you’re living on a farm, your tractor is an essential piece of equipment largely used in cultivating land, planting crops, transporting hay bales, and all other sorts of farming activities. Tractors are expensive machines, and owing one is often a significant investment for farmers. But, tractor owners face a common problem: losing track of their tractors. This article will explore the common situations farmers find themselves in where they can't locate their tractors.

At the end of the field

From time to time, farmers forget to bring their tractors back home after work, leaving them parked at the corner of a field. It’s easy to lose track of your tractor, especially if you or your farmhands have multiple fields to manage. Often, farmers forget about the tractor until the next day and only remember when it's time to begin work again.

In the shed

Farmers have sheds in which they park their tractors to protect them from the elements and maintain their operations, especially during the off-seasons. However, it is fairly easy to forget in which of your several sheds you parked the tractor. This is common, especially among farmers with various sizeable sheds.

On a neighbor's farm

A tractor may be borrowed by a neighbor or other farm for plowing or moving large hauls. While it's not necessarily a problem, the borrower may forget to return the tractor to the rightful owner. Many farmers may even forget who borrowed their tractor. After all, managing farm machinery is not easy, so it is all too easy to forget who owes what to you.

Stuck in a mud hole

Tractors can get stuck in muddy fields, and it may take owners a while to figure out where the tractor is and how to retrieve it. Sometimes, it takes multiple tractors to pull out a stuck tractor. And, sometimes, the stuck tractor can sink so deep that it may end up blocking other farmer's access to fields.

Conclusion

Tractors are costly investments for farmers, so losing them is not an ideal situation. But, farm life is hectic, and it is easy to forget where you parked your tractor. Each of the situations above is common for farmers, and it can happen to anyone. It is important for farmers to keep a clear record of what's happening with their equipment and who has borrowed what. The farm is home to both humans and equipment alike, so it is a responsibility to maintain a clear knowledge of where things are.
