Wow what a start in the work life. I can only remember mowing lawns, trimming trees and rototilling gardens, shining shoes and taking out the papers as a kid to make money. The big stuff came in the Army. Trucks and tractors and rockets up to 52 tons and then driving 20 states on a flatbed out of Houston and then a 57 1/2 foot drybox behind a '79 Freightliner. Driving 65 tons of wood in Sweden in a 26 meter long tractor trailer (80 feet) is a challenging experience to stay on the road in the curves also. My little experience on tractors and combines came with visiting my wifes family in Serbia who are all farmers and were happy to have some time off and let me drive when we had time there on "vacation"....I grew up around sawmills and logging operations, was driving loggers and lumber trucks at age 12 and working on our farm with large tractors, combines and cultivators
