Hugh, the owner sold the one point hitch, fertilizer works and cultivators for $800 and used the money to pay for the Woods mower. I agree with your thinking and am leaning towards having two tractors. The decision is easy, it's convincing my wife to let me have the second check for the second tractor that will be the hard part. I need a tractor like I need another hole in my head, but I'm going to be 52 this year and I guess it is a way of remembering my dear dad and my eastern nc childhood. On another subject, Hugh, my marketing "ears" perked up with your comment on another post regarding IH's market share slippage in the 1950's as a result of their sticking with their fast hitch technology a bit too long. IMHO fast hitch is a superior techology, but apparently like so many other products, the first one with critical mass (implement sales numbers) wins the market much like Windows and VHS format won their markets. It's too bad because IH's tractors in the 1950's were great stuff compared to the JDs two cylinder technology, Case's distribution fell short of IH's dealer network and Ford did not have big tractors.
