There are a few of us, in fact, many of us that started out "procurring" tractors similar to what we grew up with as kids on the farm. At least tractors of that era when we were first put up on that monster and told to go cultivate or plow or something else. Most have more experience with the models we grew up with so we gravitate towards those. Others can't pass up a good deal no matter what color, size, condition, or attributes these tractor may have. Then there are probably the few, and I don't know any of them, who have tons of money and could afford tractors with gazillion hp, hydraulics at all four points of the compass, and tires that you can stand up in, but what do they buy? You guessed it, the rustiest hulk in the area with the stuck engine, the bent crank, the rotted tires, the missing sheet metal, the no hydraulics. Why? Because it's the challenge just like it is with 98% of us. Sprinkle in a little pride to see the fruits of your labors when that machine comes outa the shop lookin spiffy like it did when it's original owner drove it for the first time. There is some brand loyalty out there as well. I believe the main reason we do it is because its in our blood. The fever is hard to dispell with any rational reasoning. For me, the "next one" is just a dream and I don't forget dreams. FB
