wouldn't you like to buy brand new tractors nowadays and have people like that run them for you? I think I've seen tractors they have run at auctions!

Guess we can call them for IT support, but not tractor tech support.
I can thank the strain across my low back to an Indian. Was moving a really heavy skid mounted pump, big one, in tight quarters. Was rolling it on pipe and moving with pry bars. I had a hefty but manageable bite on the pry bar and an Indian graduate student (engineering!) was moving the rollers. The pump rolled forward some and my load got really heavy and he was still farting around with the roller. I yelled "I've got to put it down!" OK, he says...and just as I begin to let go, "Just a second", and reaches his hand in directly under the dang thing! I recovered all that load again to save his freakin' hand, as the pain shot all through my back! I can see by this video, he comes by his mechanical and safety sense honestly! hahaha

Probably not PC, but we call them "citiots" now. Not sure if I spelled that correctly.

I have a brother who works Dept. of Homeland security at O'Hare airport in Chicago and he always tells me that the laziest,dumbest MEN on the planet come from India. They wait for their wife or kids to pick up baggage and put them on conveyer belt.

Yikes! Guys dancing around the front of the tractors during the pull is awesome! Ever think they might consider a wagon with four wheels? WOW! Regards, Chris

They "maximize" the capacity of all of their machines in India. Look at video of how they load their trucks!

India has a phenominal amount of agricultural fatalities. Couple intense stupidity with a weak machine, and bad things happen... it's like having a dull pocket knife. These characters seem to exemplary at exhibiting both... but keep in mind, they have an extremely high population density... you're seeing video clips that highlight the 'exception' rather than the 'norm'.
That being said, in many places on that side of the earth, this is unnervingly 'normal':

After having worked in passenger rail, and found body parts tangled up in the boxes underneath, I find the unconcious habits to be ghastly ignorant, but they do it because if they didn't they'd never get anywhere.
Obviously hitching the tractors up too high, and overloading the toungue is incredibly dangers, but the part I found most upsetting, is that when they're doing these things, people aren't smart enough to stand the hell back... and even worse, idiots that walk right in front of a nose-up machine.

I have not been to India, but it reminds me of a neighboring country that I worked in twice for 7-10 day intervals. People there did not have much of anything (equipment and brains). Women walk to work cause idiot men drive crazy.
