From 2' 45" - Set up and optimise fuel and time use, who'd have thought dust proof, air/con cabins with array of useful electronics - better still the acceptance of the kit and making use of it.

I have been watching a few 'Tubers' down the years, quality and content is edging up.

That's just a show day..
The amish do it for real...
Always thought luddite meant idiot. Not someone who didn't like technology.
Where has modern farming taken the world? The vast forests chopped down? Crops dosed with chemicals? The natural cycle of nature destroyed?
It would appear the technologists are the real idiots.
The first ploughing I did was pulling a horse plough with a tractor.
 
Quote from :- What the Luddites Really Fought Against
.
'...As the Industrial Revolution began, workers naturally worried about being displaced by increasingly efficient machines. But the Luddites themselves “were totally fine with machines,” says Kevin Binfield, editor of the 2004 collection Writings of the Luddites. They confined their attacks to manufacturers who used machines in what they called “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to get around standard labor practices. “They just wanted machines that made high-quality goods,” says Binfield, “and they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages. Those were their only concerns.”...'

I bet that is nearer the truth. Plenty carrying on the action if not physically smashing stuff.
If you have not been apprenticed to a trade then you are not a true skilled worker - See it sprayed around this place - We'll be getting into Highwaymen and their spawn next !
