I can tell you for sure I have seen way more financial problems caused by the 'new and improved' way of doing things by the younger generation than problems caused by the old guy that owned the farm.The Kid finds it pretty easy to spend dad's money that the old fellow saved the hard way or to go into debt to buy equipment that the farm size and income wasn't able to support. Then its all downhill from there.My dad's advice saved me.I was fresh out of school got a good paying job and helping dad on the farm and I owned some livestock in the operation too.It was just when the 'Fence row to fence row' stuff came out prices went high and I was all set to borrow money and go into big time farming, dad shot that down right quick told me I'd be a fool to jump in and he was right.I kept working the job saved a good amount of money,still farmed with dad and by the time the early 80's rolled around I was able to buy some bargain basement equipment at sales of those that didn't have as smart of a dad or didn't listen.Set us up big time to really improve our farming operation.Yea in his later years my dad tore up some things and all but I can tell you it was a small thing compared to the help and good advice I got from him over the years.

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king.
