Phil, would you believe there is a GPS system that guides the tractor across
a field? Allows tractors to operate at night, in fog, 24/7, etc?

Chuckling, a GPS in a Cat? I'm living in the Dark Ages. I don't even have
a CD player in my car.

Yeah, even my own mental image of Caterpillar is a farmer sittin' on a
tractor, but this day and age we have high resolution displays and GPS
systems and operators sitting in soundprooof environmental chambers with
5-speaker stereo systems, computerized maintenance records and emission
control, etc etc etc.
In the new millenium there's a lot more to tractors than a choke pull...
seeya,
Jack

Jack,
I did some auto and other off road work before. I never had a problem with
board sizes being so small or dense.
First, just out of curiosity, I can't imaging a CAT needing such tight
packaging but you have your reasons. Shaving small pads can cause some
problems on like 0402's and smaller but, again, I can't imagine you needing
to go there. I just have a mental block.
Pad extensions or spurs, can work but cut into vital real estate you have
none of, obviously. I guess all I have are questions about size and how it
matters so much here especially when used in some of the most ruggedized
designs and product on the planet. I just see reliability issues written
all
over this.
Please tell us more,
Earl Moon
