RustyFarmall you are right but maybe like cars you'll only get 5 to 10 years before the become too expensive to repair. With all the electronics and sensors they put on them now. I just read an article that said, the new electronic keys can cost $75.00 to $300.00 and in some cases you will have to tow it to a dealer, for sure if you put the wrong key in and it trips the anti-theft mech., lets not forget if you loose one of those push button door openers, they are keyed to the computer, big bucks. The way they change parts from year to year, will some parts be avalible. I've heard from car mechanics there are as many as 4 altenaters in one model year, use the wrong one and you blow the computer. I think tractors will go like the car, made cheaper and more expensive to fix. Just a note I remember a push rod fuel pump on my '49, 53, 54 fords in the late '50s cost less than $10.00 took longer to find the wrenches than change one, my wife got caught 150 miles out of town yesterday and it was just over $400.00 with our mafia tax of 15%, I know it's electronic and in the gas tank.... Progress? - Not.
