Well - Old - I agree with ya! I'm 43 and take a lot of flak from my brother over having equipment that is 40 + years old. Mine takes tinkering, but it's paid for and does the same thing his newer stuff (that he owes mega-bucks on). My BIL just bought a new Kioti yuppie tractor - $24,000+ (30 HP), along with: rake, mower, baler, and other equipment. He wants to sell hay. Odd thing is, he only has 14 acres, 5-6 of which are hayable. So now he's $40,000 into it and expects a quick return. I get blasted for having 1941, 1949 & 1959 tractors that will drag his (paid $450, $1500, and $2000 for them), because they are "old pieces of Sh*t". Doubt I have $7,000 total in ALL the equipment and tractors I have (buy at auctions or pull 'em from fence rows). Can't understand it. Guess I retained SOME of what Dad taught! I've got 101 acres (mostly pasture/hay), so I ain't no big operation, but common sense tells me : "use a little common sense".
