I only recently bought a 4x4 plower and harvester and can see both sides of the argument-I managed when I had solo tools to become very fast at h/p so the person hiring was always happy with my work-the addition of the hire to h&p helped greatly with this-I always feel guilty when I arrive at a farm and see a solo person there-sometimes the person hiring will hire me for something else-somtimes they dont-I do ask if the solo person wants to share-they continue harvesting and i plow or vice versa-We all started out the same and its only fair to give mewbies a chance
