America has become fat, dumb, lazy and poor. Who wants to go to a tractor show out in the hot sun or rain when you can window shop at the air conditioned mall or sit in your living room sucking down beer watching "reality" tv with it's scripted dialogue.
Out local tractor club used to have a field day with the local draft horse club. The snobs from the tractor club didn't want the horses around and that was that. Now the tractor club has it's own show and the horse club it's own show and both are half what they used to be.
As far as the money end, I don't know how anyone these days can go much of anywhere. Our taxes are obscene and unemployment keeps inching up here, which requires more taxes to fund the welfare state. Meanwhile our beloved gov't is buying another 69K acres of land "for the state" which will never, ever be used or likely even step foot on.
Yup, it's a wonderful life.

I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
