Thanks to those who answered/clarified me in a kindly manner like Shep, Dean, Salmoneye, LazyHorse, Dave2N, John in Ne and Jakee. If i summarize what i understood from your words about why you prefer YT over TT; 1. YT's are much cheaper than TT (it seems this is the most important reason) 2. So, no need to spend more money 3. People are used to YTs, so, they can easily repair&work them. 4. Parts of YTs are very available (TT's are not so?) 5. YTs can do almost everythings that most of the farmers need. so, why spending much $$$ on TTs. 6. a TT can do things faster, take less fuel, and be less poluting... but who care these! (i cannot say anything if this no-care about environment,etc is an advantage or disadvantage) 7. Love (this has nothing to do with utilitarianism although utilitarianism in Christianism is strictly connected to the love/happiness.) to Sod who said; "...I think the utilitarian... question was more of a rhetorical question, a question that needs no answer. Possibly, it was a statement of belief." True. It is a part of belief of "utilitarianism." But, with this question in this thread, i was questioning also the belief of many YT lovers who have said "we collect YTs because we not only love them but also they are utilitarian objects. If them tractors weren't utilitarian, we wouldn't have collected YTs, but would collect paintings, etc which are not utilitarian objects" If this is a truth, one must be proved that YTs are much better than TTs in utilitarian point of view. As you, Mike and Ralph may see i have been talking about the real serious things.

In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
