I would still collect and work on them if they were give-aways. And if the price went way up, i'd still keep what i have. I buy and sell some too, selling has been pretty soft lately. It is true that folks don't want to drive far to pick up items anymore. But local buyers are still around.

I never tried to make a living off the hobby, THAT IS THE KEY. Those that do; YES; they are gonna be hurtin right now. Those that do it for the fun and fellowship will not sell the farm. I'm gonna miss some shows because of the high cost this year, so be it. We have this great internet, local shows and plenty of tractors to tinker with that won't get scrapped.

When i started in this hobby, you could buy a cheap tractor and have some fun. Might get too many dollars in it to re-sell. So what??? It was for the fun of it, not for the greed of it. I say this may weed out the greedy ones and retain the good folks. It may make folks get by and repair on thier own more, or fabricate more. Kind of like hot rodding used to be, remember that? Guys would restore and modify stuff with thier own two hands that was amazing. Not many catalogues to order complete do-it-yourself kits then. Guys had to love it and sweat over it.

I'm okay, drop whatever tractors you think are to worthless to keep in my tree row and i'll leave the light on. LOLOL.

Today's Featured Article - Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live ...
