Yeah, I think from a gator utility perspective, the amount of time that we spend with customers and development I think is really important. Spending time... And letting them use equipment. We certainly do our own R&D, spend a lot of investment dollars in R&D, but customers are a part of our R&D as well.
So that's huge because as soon as we launch a product, our customers are going to tell us what we missed, right? So let's get our customers engaged in that process so we don't miss, right? Or we might still miss, let's be honest, but we can't put everything that customers want. There's things that we need to do. But, you know, I think that's a really valid point.
Here's a warm water for you. Here's a warm water. Yeah, if you checked out that 845R in the display area over there, you would have seen the boundary mapping aid, but then you would have also seen a tow bar. So we've got some prototype stuff that we're talking about. We're at this show. We're talking to customers, getting feedback from them. Hey, what do you like? Where should this go? Right.
Do you see this? Clearly where Mike was just talking about autonomous tillage. Awesome. May still need a person to be checking in on that stuff around. Yep. Yep.
Yeah. It all, it all pieces together. That's great.
Gotcha. The industry really deserves for things to be easy and for what we put in from an effort perspective to make things comfortable. Comfortable on them physically, but then also professionally.
All right. I'll start. It's the Gateway Gator. Maybe it's the Gateway Gator. There you go. So calendar. Got to live by your calendar, right? I live my life with a calendar. And before I take the next vacation, I have the next vacation scheduled. Oh, cool. And that is with family, right? That's not my alone time. Workations, yeah. Married over 20 years with two kids. Well, it must be working.
Try to prioritize that. I've always tried to do that. It's tough. It's not easy for any of us to juggle that. I'm not a good vacationer, but that could be something I could use. My son is a senior in high school, so he's finishing his high school career off this year. And I tell him, work hard. So you can play hard. Yep. And the only way you can play hard is if you work hard. Awesome.
