I bought my 3/4 inch Chinwanese socket set about 20 years ago to take
the crank nut off of a Triumph Spitfire 1.5L engine (not exactly a
farm implememt size vehicle). I end up using them probably 4 or 5
times per year as sockets to remove a nut or bolt. As someone else
has mentioned, they make good bearing race drivers and I have used the
set for driving bearing races more than for removing fasteners (for
larger diameters I have turned plumbing fittings (cheap source of
stock, nipples, caps and couplings) to the needed diameter) . I am
very glad that I spent $40 for them back then and for my limited use,
they should last the rest of my lifetime.

stuff.

My feeling is that these sockets are only for serious equipment like
excavators and bulldozers. Am I mistaken?

The reason for my question is kind of obvious.
