Likewise, the use of preventive maintenance protocols are desirable in the off-season e.g. replacing parts (such as bearings or soil engaging elements) that may break or wear out before they need repair or replacement. The use of highly skilled and competent operators is also desirable to ensure optimal performance of equipment that is generally getting bigger, working faster and becoming more complex despite the welcome introduction of more automated control and ergonomic systems designed to assist and enhance performance.
Furthermore, the development of sub-soilers to break up soil pans (highly compacted layers of soil interfering with water movement and deep crop root development) would not have been possible without the power capability of the modern tractor. Likewise, the ability to improve soil drainage (in excessively high moisture soils) through tractorized mole drainage systems would not have been possible with animal power alone.
