Michael: As I see the problem with old tractors, too much of the business of buying and selling is being conducted with the heart rather than with the head. Every day you hear of another tractor parked because family of a deceased can't agree that it really isn't worth that much. Grampa really didn't carry out good maintainence the last 10 years of his life, and tractor is really not in top working order. Oh yes it goes, will disk the garden up. Tractors can and do operate for a lot of years with mechanical items malfunctioning or broken. So then it sits for another 10 to 20 engine sticks, etc. Then some family member finally decides to call in the wrecker. By then the tractor is actually worth nothing.

To the wrecker he has workers he either keeps busy or they find some other employment. Dismanteling tractors is not all profit. I'm sure many a wrecker has refused an offer on a whole tractor, only to dismantle and after expences has less money.

The problem my friend is not the businessmen making business decissions. The problem is old tractor buyers and sellers dealing with their heart and emotions
