Most of the old tractors in use now will still be going in 50 years time, so why the need for the modern stuff that is around now? 150 horse or more is not required for mowing grass.
8N Fords do not cost around 4 times what they were new. Just ask someone who knows, how many months money a tractor cost in those days.

Do you know how to work on them? Then either you might still be around in 50 years time or you may have time yet to teach someone now.
50 years is not that long ahead, really!

The most likely scenario is that someone will pass a law to either stop us using the old iron or need it for scrap 'cos energy supplies have been used up!
