Mike: You make a good point, right now my keenest tractor guy is the soon to be 3 year old grandson. He'd spend all day on the tractor if I'd let him. His mom, dad, aunts and uncles, don't have time to give tractors much attention. This damn tractor hobby is a full time job, one does not have time for full time employment.
I am confident my tractors will stay around after I'm gone. Next generation are hoping I hang around until they have time to use them, and not see them go to storage 8-10 years.

They in turn have not had children until mama had a career and in her 30s. That alone creates a gap in family retirements.
Just maybe the strength of the tractor hobby lies in what Archie Bunker once said, "Edith, throw Gloria's damn pill out the window to the Jefferson's cat, and replace it with a plesebo."
