I ask specifically for someone with Large tools. One person said she had all large tools. When she got through the 1st farm, she asked if she could use my tools AND fuel. I refused and reminded her that she said she had everything. She copped an attitude with me. Bad idea! What's the advantage to me to let them use my tools and my fuel? And the comment in one of the first posts in this thread, by Taz that the incentive for people to buy large tools was so they can use them on their own farms. Really? How about they just hire someone to do it? I'm thinking your revenue is going to start dropping.

People say they have the large tools because people like you won't hire them otherwise. They could be new players who don't have enough FC to buy them. Maybe they can't afford to buy FC to buy tools with them. The earn free FC offers aren't worth the trouble.
