The land, which had been neglected for many years, consisted of about two acres of lawn, another two acres of badly overgrown pasture and the remainder was wild woods. We knew we needed a tractor to help us take care of it all, but what kind, how big, what features and how much were all questions we hadn''t a clue how to answer. Since then we''ve learned a lot about tractors from friends, neighbors, tractor dealers and, of course, the Internet. We also learned we weren''t alone: Lots of other people moving from a city environment to a rural one had many of the same questions about tractors. This article is condensed from the information we''ve learned about tractors over the past several years. I decided to gather the common questions and answers we''d discovered into a Web site called "The Small Tractor FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)." You are welcome to visit the Web site (www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/kb13/TF_home.htm), which contains links to tractor manufacturers, implement suppliers, tractor discussion groups and lots of other information and resources for and about small tractors.

When equipment in your operation fails for reasons that you don''t think it should have, you have an obligation to tell the manufacturer that he needs to change the design and offer more reliable products. Owners need to attend trade shows and reach out to manufacturers. They need to share their concerns about existing products and provide ideas of what they need in future equipment.Manufacturers constantly relate how little feedback they receive from end users and owners. The product engineers who do attend the trade shows tell how they beg for input and ideas from end users, and only rarely receive any.

Youthful vehicular infatuation never fades; a driver''s license is the one adult perquisite that turns out not to be even mildly disappointing. I''m a snob about walking on my home course, but at resort courses, when carts are required, I dibs the driver''s seat.Perversely, courses that require carts are often poorly laid out for driving. Cartpaths are situated in places where golf balls rarely go, such as on the left. If you are required to keep your cart on the path, you can end up walking farther than you would have if you hoofed it. I once watched a golfer walk 75 yards from the path to examine his ball, which was lying in the rough 300 yards from the green; walk 75 yards back to his cart to get a club; walk 75 yards back to his ball; top the ball 50 yards forward; walk 75 yards back to get another club (his 250-yard club, I guess); drive his cart 50 yards forward, etc.
