As Red says, it's an investment in satisfaction, a sense of accomplishment, it's therapy and probably a whole bunch of other things these guys could add. And it's just plain fun!

And I can take these tractors out of the barn and just drive them, or I can show them or take them to a parade and meet a lot of neat new people in the process. Where does the money come in?

But that intangible side of the ledger makes me big bucks every day!
