On the Use of Crutch Words In Speech & Text

I think this could also be accomplished by stringing a grid of wires over
the field, and using a trolley that rides on the wires.

That's certainly possible -- the "trolly tractor" was last summer's
idea -- but requires a lot of wire. It's actually cheaper to use a
battery.

It's not as simple
as a locomotive or streetcar, where a single hot wire can bu used, and the
return current through the tracks. But I think a system could be devised to
provide electricity to a tractor by means of a controlled tether. It could
definitely be done with a set of tracks that would move the supply line to
be in-line with the movement of the tractor, and then have a trolley with a
power cord that supplies the tractor. It would involve some engineering,
initial investment, and maintenance, but should be about 95% efficient for
energy conversion.

Another option is to eliminate the tractor altogether and drag the
plow and other impliments off of a "super pivot," the common "crop
circle" irrigation structure beefed up for the heavier load.

The impliments would move inward for a spiral furrow.

Um, you might reconsider any plans you have to be a farmer.

Using crutch words like "you know" or noises like "um" is bad enough
in speech. It text it is even worse, a sure sign of a nobody with
nothing to say.

Being that this is an electronics group, you might, umm, consider
saying something about electronics.

Now that you've twisted my arm (ouch! yawzaa! puleese don't fling me
into dat briar patch) using 1/6th the power drawn by an electric
locomotive, a 400 hp articulated battery electric tractor could charge
up in two minutes or less per pass on a quarter square thereby saving
over $100/hour-- soon to be $300/hour -- in diesel.

And _no_ I will _not_ let you off the hook for saying furrows could
not be circular or spiral.

There was no excuse for saying something that dumb.

The whole spiral plowing idea is pretty stupid for large agricultural
operations, but what's even stupider is having the plow spiral
inwards.
