the current tractors, like cars and trucks , are going to be at the mercy of their electronics, so much like our computers, after so many years they are no longer supported, same thing happening with cars and trucks parts are no longer being supplied . So it is likely that you could have a $300,000 tractor sitting in a junkyard in 20 years because no one makes the PCM it needs anymore .

But to your original point, scrap prices will probably determine how long some of us will have access to parts.
