  1. I grew up on a farm and I was about that kid’s size when I started driving tractors, too. Of course I didn’t get to do it unsupervised until I was in 3rd grade or so. Of course, nowadays they’d put my father in jail for that.

  2. I cringed when I first saw his little face doing all that work. Then as I watched, I marveled and thought to myself, some girl in China is going to be his lucky wife.

  3. @ Left Coast Dan – I sent this to one of our sons and asked him to show it to our almost 9 year old grandson. He probably won’t because our grandson probably will be begging him to buy a big CAT…

  4. At 7 years old, my son was piloting an airboat. Driving and operating everything from backhoes to dumptrucks. He is now a well rounded 26 year old gentleman and business owner who can and is more prepared than most to take life by the horns. We spoiled him with the gift of opportunity.

  5. I visited several factories in China:

    1. The painters in the spray booths were using handkerchiefs in their respirators instead of filters.

    2. Sandblasters wore homemade hoods while in their booth, using regular work compressors for air (the oil, CO, and particulates in the air line will kill you).

    I hope I saved a few lives that day by helping them upgrade.

  6. Think about all the jobs created by being an “Operator” in this Country. Licensing, Accounting, OSHA compliance and training, rule making, seniority, and Union dues… it all seems like overkill that simply passes the cost on to the consumer. Go to a third world area like this and you see a culture that celebrates really old people dying on the job as though they are hero’s for it and one has to think there is a good middle ground somewhere.

  7. Teach your children respect, self-disciple and responsibility…they will grow up to make you proud.

    Oh, and start them YOUNG; by 2 yrs, they should somewhat understand.
