Green Acres Farm, A Tractor Build

I built this farm in response to SimGuruCopeland and Platinum Simmers Tractor Challenge. The challenge was to build the tractor on a foundation. I decided to build the tractor on both regular ground and foundation "bridges." I also built the track around/under the main house.
I already have a thread for this in the Creative Corner Forum, but because this build was inspired by a store product I am including information here as well. Most of the information I include in this thread will be about the tractor.
The lot was Custard checked before upload: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8231532
If you would like more information or pictures you can view my showcase thread in Creative Corner: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/753373.page#12039209
Or you can view my slideshow here: http://s41.photobucket.com/user/seashell034/slideshow/TS3/Green Acres Farm
Almost every item used in this build is a store item. Because the tractor is on a lowered part of the ground and the entrance to the house is on the second level, there are no routing issues cause by use of the tractor. Sims can enter and exit the house while the tractor is in use.
I recommend using the tractor to water and fertilize the plants, while using the green dragon to harvest them. Then use the tractor to get the few harvestables that the dragon leaves behind.
Do NOT use TestingCheats while playing. I tested this and it causes glitches.

chopin27 Thank you!
CaptainTHPS4 Thanks! I worked really hard on this lot! I don't know what causes the glitch exactly. I don't play with TestingCheats. I didn't notice the glitch until I did a final walk through with my testers. They were in a bad mood, but I didn't wanna wait for them to sleep before I could upload the lot. The results weren't very pretty. So, I turned the cheat off and tried again. Everything worked fine. Just to be sure, after packaging the lot I placed it in a brand new Sunset Valley and used preset sims to double check. The lot just doesn't seem to like the cheat.
I don't use the cheat because it causes glitches for me anyway. Even in EA built lots.
Edit, autocorrect changed Monet to money....
I didn't know that either. I always play with testingcheats.
