Again a well worded post Maret that translates excellent. I can smell the work-sweating. Feel the sting of the sweat dripping down into my eyes. I previously began topic that below a certain power requirement home-farming you were far better doing it by personal work-sweating: > [@2 1/2; 5 1/2; 7.0; 10.5 &18 Horsepowers](https://forum.driveonwood.com/t/2-1-2-5-1-2-7-0-10-5-18-horsepowers/3969): > > Hi All, Cloudy rainy day here so I have time to lay-out my actual tree-farm used power needs. These are all of my seasonally farm-needs, used, different power equipment’s that I use annualy. To refresh: I and my wife live on 18 acres of a once120 acres old dairy farm remains.

Small counties that cannot support BIG Agricultures. Hand sweat working some daily will; keep you as healthy as possible, as long as possible. And why do this in an Urban Gym, eh. Paying dearly for that sweating. But as you know well now some jobs/tasks need the weather window speeding up of powered machinery. Plus using you body as the horse leaves no time for children teaching, reading, just life contemplating.
