I don't understand the complaining about the new tools

.... You don't HAVE to buy all 3 ......
You still have the 3 x 3 tools ..... you can hire someone to harvest ,,, and hire someone to plow ....
The 4 x 4 seeder is really the only tool you 'need' to plant faster and its not that much faster than the 3 x 3 .....
I just love this game and farm 7 - 8 - 9 can't come quick enough
