My cousin has a fairly large dairy farm in northern VT. He buys a tractor approx. every ten years, almost always used. He and his mechanic do almost all repair work in his own shop. The last tractor he bought was new and he bought it because it was non electronic, facilitating repair in his own shop. This tractor is NH, and probably Fiat built. I see this as a possible new direction in tractor/equipment purchasing. BTOs buy new and turn equipment over before problems start, while the smaller operator deals with problems themselves. Electronics changes that. Many of us have seen first hand that the dealers are consolidating with smaller ones going out and larger ones getting larger with multiple locations, eliminating competition, and displaying desire to stay away from older stuff and penalizing the owners with higher prices and poorer quality work. Wayne, It looks to me like your future should be bright, catering to the smaller operators. maybe you can set up a business model and franchise repair operations and eliminate the need to get your hands dirty. LOL.
