Bill: I can see your point of view. I guess it really depends on what you want to deal with at end of storage period. I also tend to jump on that condensation problem, being one that caused me some grief. I said on another discussion here at YT less than a week ago. These tractors are a bit like our own bodies, you either use it or loose it.

Have to agree with you on less than year storage I remember a guy, with livestock operation. He had 1970s 574 diesel and loader, I believe. He ran the 574 year around. Also, we used to call it a fleet of H and 300, about 8 of them all narrow fronts. All he used them for was making hay and spreading manure. You would see him in spring towing these old Farmalls out of shed. I think the only service they ever saw other than gas, oil and greese was when they quit He probably never put more than 200-300 hours per year on any one of them. People used to hassel him a bit, as he was well enough off finincially he could have bought all new tractors. His responce was those old gas Farmalls were the reason he had money.
