I MIGHT be a bad influence. Uhh… @ebinmaine 😁I forgot about those.. I’m not sure about bad but definitely an influence. So, with this pile of tractors/parts does that mean I’m an influencer too? I knew there was a reason for adding that patch to my signature…🤣 Edited March 3 by MainelyWheelhorse 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 57,532 #34 Posted March 4 While living in a small central New York community I became a volunteer fireman/EMT. One of the other EMTs was our local Funeral Director/Mortician, being a very small town most people knew who he was. When he was tending to an ill oy injured person they would wonder if he was feeling mixed emotions while helping save their lives. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Years ago, when my grandfather was the pastor of the UM church in Duncannon PA he and his friend Ron Smith, who owned the local funeral home, volunteered with the local EMT service. There was a particular ambulance driver they were often paired with who would wait until the patient was stable and then joke that the patient was lucky, because if something went wrong the priest and the undertaker were already there. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a general rule of thumb I would agree but for the fact that you could extrapolate this further into the formulation for the number of tractors versus the number of implements. Hypothetically let's say you buy two tractors but one of them has two implements. You now have two tractors and three implements which is an unusable ratio. I believe past discussions have come up with the fact that you should inarguably possess a bare minimum of one tractor more than the amount of implements you possess. The ratio above clearly needs to be changed from 2:3 to 3:4 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MainelyWheelhorse 944 #40 Posted March 4 @ebinmaine Damn, I’m two tractors under what I should be when using that ratio. 😁 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 57,532 #41 Posted March 4 8 hours ago, Pete D said: The formula you have presented is totally unsatisfactory where Wheel Horses are concerned. It suppose there will only be one additional Wheel Horse available for adoption at any particular moment when it is likely that two or more would be wanting to jump up on your trailer. Therefore, if only one were allowed to join your herd that would mean the other poor orphan would be homeless and that would be an unacceptable outcome. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 27,211 #42 Posted March 4 (edited) Gentlemen.... Please... The elegance of math extends to corollaries, theorems and hypotheses that are infinite... yet always true... while parallel lines appear to verge on the distance, we know they never will... @Pete D's original equation is absolutely flawless in its simplicity and validity... adding additional variables such as implements, storage space, wives' opinions etc. descends into an anarchy that is beneath the dignity of a gentleman connoisseur... Consider: Regardless of the number of implements, applying N+1 will always achieve the desired ratio of 's to implements... you just need to keep applying the formula... Capiche?

There might be an additional factor or two that govern implement interchangeability and tractor current operability--but those may not have a material effect on the solution. In certain cases, the “up on a rack and the forklift is inoperable” factor might also be important. 😉 Edited March 9 by Handy Don 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
