Myself I would fix the older equipment rather than buy a newer one, but that is just my opinon. I don't see much of a future for most of the newer tractors. I saw an old B JD at a show running a burr mill. Something over 70 some years old, putting away still doing its job.

At least with some of the older equipment if something goes wrong you can some times "patch" it up to get your work done and fix later.
