It’s fun. I wish I could find a roller/crimper to rent and ride over my cover crops
I’ve ran a lot of earth moving equipment. Started when I was a kid. Absolutely love it. Put me on anything from a riding mower to a dozer and I’m as happy as a pig in the mud.
It’s like anything else. It’s fun until the new wears off, then it’s just a job.
Riding?
It’s fine it’s not really an experience. It’s just doing work like anything else, if you are young or never had any exposure to it it might be fun once or twice. But really it’s just like driving in a really slow car that hurts your back a lot more and is a lot harder to operate depending on the type of equipment. That said it beats the shit outta most other jobs in a construction site.
I absolutely *loved* riding on the tractor and the combine when I was a kid.
Since I became an adult, I’ve had the chance to operate a backhoe and a really big bulldozer. The backhoe wasn’t anything special, but the dozer was awesome. The sheer amount of force that thing was capable of generating almost blew my mind. It pulled an 80,000 lb tractor-trailer out of the mud without bogging down in the slightest.
Looks really cool on camera, then you do it for about 30 minutes and realize it actually isn’t very fun. It’s bouncy and rough and at time painful and it gets real boring real fast. It really was cool the first few times I drove a loader or a mini or a forklift, but it’s really nothing special.
I grew up working on a farm so I started driving and operating equipment from a really young age. It came naturally to me – not so much for my siblings. I helped tear down buildings dig holes with a backhoe, etc., before I was a teenager. I remember being excited about teaching my kids to drive, how to operate different things (we are not on a farm anymore) when they got around that age, and just said absolutely not. I had to start them on a golf cart.
Love it
