I think it's easier to ride the tractor not only because you have experience with the bike, but also when you ride a bike you use steering to keep balance and you do counter-steering when making a turn, all of those things do not apply to a tractor where you only use steering to make a turn, no balance or couter-steering required.

@RexMuffin You turn the wheel in the direction you want to go regardless of direction with normal steering. Think of it like 2 parabolic curves on either side of the vehicle, if you turn the wheel left you are traveling along the left curve forward or back, if you turn right than you travel along the right curve. The tractor in this video flips that, which is how a trailer works in reverse because of the pivot point. (Edit) To clarify, "reversing" is going backwards, if you turn around to face the direction of motion it's no longer really reversing but going forward. This would be more like turning in your seat but not putting it in reverse.

I've spent my entire life with people saying adults cant learn as fast as children. Now that I'm a teacher I don't believe this to be true at all. I was never able to learn as fast as I can now until I knew how people learned. To prove this point I learned german to A2 in 6 months. I think its a fascinating area to show how if you "lock in" and know how to learn you can achieve amazing results. Young children "lock in" because they are sponges absorbing the world around them. Adults have distractions, they get bored and will stop if they arent seeing results. Knowing about this and pushing through leads to learning.

Not to discount the difficulty of the tractor, but I would find this way easier than doing it with a bicycle. Not only do you not need to worry about your balance, but your brain likely already has pathways accounting for turning the opposite direction; think reversing or, even better, reversing with a trailer. I would think the tractor would be a good starting point before upgrading to the bike.

This is a huge feat as the intervals produced by the black and white keys are not symmetrical.

This unlocks so many things to test. 1st is to make a manifold that can switch the lines on demand. 2nd is to try (with multiple people) not think about turning the wheel, but thinking about where you want the tractor to go, and see how long it takes for it to become natural. 3. The big test, backing a trailer with the steering reversed, both by turning around and looking across the deck, and by using tow mirrors, concentrating on placing the trailer tires where you want them to go. I bet this method would be the fastest to adapt to reversed steering.

Heavy equipment operators all across the world have been working like this. The major manufacturers all have different controls for similar equipment. Case, John Deere, JB, Cat, etc. When you operate these things for a living you get incredibly proficient and precise with it, but when you use one from a different manufacturer, it forces you to focus and relearn in a matter of days. What’s fascinating is when you go back to the original equipment, it’s not recalling how you did it before, it’s unlearning and trying to forget what you just learned.

So to me the bike seems like it's a lot harder because it's more complex. There's a failure mode where you fall off the bike and you lose feedback once you're there. The tractor is a lot easier because there's no failure mode where you lose feedback, you can easily just instantly correct your mistake and use it to instantly learn. I think it's funny that you mention the part where your brain needs to figure out which mode you're in, because there are some video games where I have the same reaction when it's in third person. Some explanation on the scenario: In about all first person games, you move the stick right the camera turns right. But in a lot of older third person games, the camera stick is movement based while still pointing at the character, so this means when you move the stick right, the camera _moves_ right and _turns_ left to continue facing the character. So you have these two different modes where you either move the camera or turn the camera based on its position relative to the player. Some shooters have both of these modes in specific contexts, but for the purposes of aiming, it's always turn based, so there have been many times where I've gone to control the camera to face something and go the completely wrong direction at first while I figure out what the correct mode is.

These two ways of thinking result in two different results for what should happen when you push the stick on the controller.

I rode a bike like that with reverse steering. At a motorcycle fair, the owner would give 100 bucks to ride 10 meters, and no one could do it, although many tried. It was fun. I came to the conclusion that it is not only a matter of the right turn of the handlebars, but also the right balance of the body to maintain balance. That is why it is easier to ride a tractor than a bicycle. I ride a bike a lot and one does not realize how habitual this riding is. You can tell when some people ride without holding the handlebars (balancing only with their body) or when they ride in the dark reacting to uneven terrain. It is a habit that can be broken by another habit, forcing the brain to work harder.

A Hercules aircraft, the four engine turbo prop cargo aircraft was being taken for its first test flight after a D check overhaul. This takes months and means a massive disassembly and reassembly of the aircraft. So the pilot started up the engines and started to taxi to the runway. The aircraft turned in the wrong direction. Turns out when they were reassembling the cables for the nose gear the technicians just asked “is the nose wheel turning now?“. This happened at CAE at the Edmonton International Airport sometime during the 80s.

It seems us Dutch have a new frontier to master collectively regarding cycling.

wonder if's easier to adapt to the tractor because you can use the bottom of steering wheel's movement to align with the motion?

It happens. Especially when cables and connectors aren't obviously different colors, types, etc. 😂 Personally, I think it's ideal if every connection is a unique color AND attachment type.

0:35 Sorry, but the cycling also requires your balance. This is not the same.

As soon as I saw your tractor, I thought about learning to back up while driving a trailer. It was difficult until someone told me a trick: hold the steering wheel at the bottom (6 o'clock) instead of the top like you would sheen driving. Then, just move the bottom of the wheel in the direction you want the trailer to move. That made it much more intuitive and probably used more of my existing skills. I wonder if putting a full circle steering wheel on a backwards bike would make that skill easier to learn as well.
