True that the tractors now are alot more expensive and complicated than the older ones are but remember that 40 yrs ago the "new" tractors then were more expensive and complicated than the "Older" ones were then also. I have never done the math but I would almost bet that a new tractor doesn't cost alot more percentage wise that they used to in relation to wages and such.

Also, in 50 yrs the complicated electronics and things now will be nothing then. Remember when a cell phone was just high tech as all get out? Heck they take and email pictures now and even my 70 yr old dad knows how to work one.

I think that when the tractors that are new now get to the point of not being profitable to use they will be just like the antiques are now. Hehehe can you picture an old farmer hauling a tired worn out rusty JD 6410 cab tractor home and while admiring the pile of rust and broke plastic telling his grandson that that what he learned to drive on?? I am hoping I will be able to see that in 50 yrs :)
