It is not easy to give up your routine and life. Especially when you and your family have been doing the same thing for years. Every generation puts their sweat and life into the family business. Running a farm is also a family business and is different from all the other family businesses. One may retire to a golf course, kitty parties, and other hobbies. But for a farmer, it is not easy to retire.

A farmer cannot let go of the farm. His mind, soul, and heart remain etched with his farm. So one son from Kentucky saw his 89-year-old dad’s routine slipping away because of his age, he promised him to help him in any way he can. Due to his dad’s age, there were physical limitations that started getting in the way of his life.

89-year-old farmer, Bill Sr., from Kentucky spent a considerable part of his life on his tractor. Now due to his age and problems that came along his age he was not able to get on the tractor. He saw and felt his life slip away from his hands. He shared his feelings with a local news outlet and said: “I’m not much on standing, walking, climbing steps, but I can get out there and cut hay, drill soybeans. That’s the way farm people are, they just keep going.”

Bill Jr. wanted to do something for his dad so that he could work as long as he wished. His dad was not ready to part ways with his farm life and he was not ready to let him do that. He devised a solution so that his dad could follow and live in his routine. Since his dad could not climb and stand for much longer, he decided to develop a tractor lift for him.

With the help of the tractor lift, Bill Sr. would be able to get into the seat without any difficulty. The tractor lift will help him lift to the tractor seat. Bill Jr. shared his dad’s experience of farming life and said: “He loves farming and he’s still very active, we want to keep him that way.” The creation helped his dad to remain in touch where his heart and soul resides. It was a special moment and memory between the father and son.

Not only this will help his dad but will help in many other generations. Bill Sr. shared “I’m 89 now and just looking to farming as long as I can.” Well, if we can do anything for our parents selflessly with love it gives immense satisfaction.
