A few years ago I saw a bunch of the little offset Farmalls for sale at a local truck farm. I stopped to look at them and the farmer came up to talk to me. He was an older Japanese fellow, and he told me he had been farming that place for about 40 years and was retiring. His farm was about 150 acres, and he had 6 or 8 Farmall Cubs, Super As, 140, 230, etc, a couple Allis Gs and a big Case for any heavy tillage. I had quite a long talk with him about farming as we compared his truck farm with my Dad's grain and potato farm. For truck farming, it appears you can make a go of it with older equipment, but most of the larger farms around here (mostly dairy, hay, vegetables and flowers) are using newer equipment.
By the way, the old Japanese farmer sold most his tractors to people living within a couple miles, and they are still in use in little truck farms of about 5-10 acres.
