Some time? That is nothing new man I have a video of old farm tractors and machinery and there is 2 Fordson Dexta's an one man can drive the two It showed the tractors ploughing the first tractor was operated by the farmer and the second tractor followed the first tractor and did the same as it did it worked well for ploughing as both tractors could plough at the one time one be hind the other.
