Thats a tough problem, and i'm not sure ive got any good advice. I'm 23 and farm some too, during my summers off of college. I've been slowly upgrading my machinery to slightly newer "junk", but it does hurt a little to sell my first stuff. I actually cried last year when i had to sell my old farmall M. The newer equipment does make a world of difference though. I went from an Oliver 77 to a 1655, and while the 1655 is still awful old and not real big, it really makes the work go quicker. The only small piece of advice i can try to give is that 10 tractors is a lot. Maybe you could carefully store 6 or so of the oldest/least used, and concentrate on keeping the other 4 going? It will probably be tough to replace them down the road. Good luck with the decision, its good to see other young people farming.
