The next generation down will be capable of getting things done, just not the same way 'WE' did it.
That's where we get confused. Because it's easier to think in terms that things just won't get done, than try to imagine how things will get done some other way (maybe unknown right now).
The problem with our tractors and lawn mowers, they will eventually be obsolete and useless. They will not be needed anymore, nor fixed. Won't be a need to.
As the years click by, it likewise does on our equipment of the past. Equipment from the 30's and 40's is generally not used anymore. You may find someone still using that stuff, but really only by choice, and would be a rarity to see.
As time marches on, it likewise will on the tail end of our equipment from the past. Won't be long and the equipment from the 50's will be included in the non-use. Then the 60's, 70's, and 80's will follow right along as the decades float by.
Unless it's some kind of collector peice, or rare, or unusual, or an hier loom, there won't be much of a desire to keep it going by anyone.
Why in the world would you want to keep an old lawnmower from the 80's going that always breaks down?? When you can have a computerized robotic one that can be programmed to mow your yard by itself with no operator. That's the delima your kids and grandkids will face. And they certainly aren't going to want that old lawn mower that only takes up space in the garage and accumulates junk on top of it. Nope. It'll get parked outside for a few years, and then hauled off for scrap because it now has become an eyesore that has just been sitting outside.
Shed space will be a killing factor to alot of our old machines. Sheds are expensive to put up. Once put it up, it's not wise to fill it up with machines you'll never use again. This is what our younger generation will face.
You might be doing the same thing right now. Your newest piece of equipment sits under a roof, but your oldest piece sits outside. The next generation isn't going to be any different on that.

Today's Featured Article - Gettin My Old Tractor Home - by Clayton Sweeney. My name is Clayton Sweeney. I am from Southern Maryland in a small town called Lothian. I am 20 and my father and I are the proud owner of a 1954 Allis Chalmers WD-45. When I was 18, I dated a girl in the next county over. Her family are tobacco farmers. It was a cold Thanksgiving evening, and we were going up to her Grandparents house. As we passed one of their barns, I noticed something orange in the corner of my eye in this old shed. It was pretty dark and I asked what it was
