Thanks for posting the video Moss! I won't say I could do it, but I sure would like to try. The human mind is sure amazing!!!!

Interesting. Thanks for posting. Interesting on many different levels.

What was interesting was the guy said it took him about 8 months to learn it, then it only took him 20 minutes to go back to the normal method. Wonder how long it took him to switch back to the opposite method the 2nd time?

I'd like to give it a try as well. I'm pretty sure I cannot do it. I can't ride skateboards, roller skate or ice skate worth a hoot and have a terrible sense of balance.... I think that would work in my favor! :laughing:

I've got a sister that's not in her right mind - she's ambidextrous :laughing: I wonder if she would be better at learning it quicker. She can write forwards, backwards, forwards and backwards at the same time with either hand and can solve small hand puzzles very quickly.

I guess that is why it is so important to learn things right the first time. I am thinking of learning to run machine shop equipment, it has me thinking more about how to do that.

Go for it,I've just recently bought a mini lathe and a mini milling machine and with the help of you tube am picking it up.I'm 72 and really wish I could have started this 30 or 40 years ago. Like the bike younger is better.

He mentioned learning that welders are smarter than engineers, wonder if that can be quickly un-learned? :laughing:

How would you do with the same steering mechanism change on your tractor?:laughing: At least you wouldn't fall off, but you might wreck the homestead.:laughing:

I've left some awful turn rows in my time, but I never took the fence with with it. No guarantees in this case.

Driving my articulated dumper the first time was a weird feeling. I guess it is because when you turn right, the seat and your body move left. Took awhile to get used to, but don't notice it now,

Now, THAT was interesting!

 

[RobS]

That's pretty cool!

I think balance is the key here. Tractors are slow, so wouldn't be a problem. Driving at speed.... yike! We gonna wreck!!! :laughing:

We used to have an artist here at work. Strange fellow. Shirt and tie every day. Looked like a businessman. He used his computer mouse upside down. Try that sometime. Turn it around so the cord goes under your wrist. The cursor moves up when you move the mouse down. Left when moved right, etc... Now I can use a mouse left or right handed with ZERO problems because I'm left handed with right eye dominance( and I frequently shift mouse hands due to wrist pain). But not upside down for goodness sake!

Here's a trick to try if you want to see how difficult it is to do a very easy task when your input results in a changed output...click on an open area of your desktop then click on graphic options then click on rotation and then click on 90 degrees. Your desktop will rotate of course and the mouse still operates exactly the same way, push forwards with it and the cursor will go towards the top of the screen as shown, not the top of the monitor. It also will auto arrange your icons so be prepared to reset them if you decide to try this. Use the same procedure to reset the screen back to normal.
