In the 1920s farmers argued over the affordability of a tractor over a horse. In 1939 farmers argued over who could ever need and afford a 30+ hp M and make it pay for itself. In 1960 they argued over the need for a cab tractor with 100 hp and how they could pay for themselves. The arguement over articulating tractors and their ability to pay for themselves was had back in the 1970s. We are now seeing the result as big two wheel drive tractors age out and farms continue to enlarge.

Even my B-I-L that teaches school full time runs a 7140 with FWA, he farms over 600 acres of row crop in his part time. The trend had been bigger every since McCormick invented the reaper and it will continue. All that old faded iron was purchased new at some time.
