As long as people are interested they will keep going and that my friends is the problem. Last tractor show I attended the evening entertainment there were no young people there except for kids to young to say "I'm not going". But no teens..... because to them it was boring. Sorry but these kids we wnat to take up the slack for us as we get older we drive away because we are trying to keep things they way they are an not embracing things to keep them interested. Heck I'm 56 and I found the entertainment boring and I was only there looking for someone. The teens were in the camp grounds playing their gameboys and the young adults were off the grounds at a bar with a live band. Now I'm not saying we have to make everything their way but if we don't include them in all areas they get the feeling that we don't care about them other than as a labor force.
On another note sustainable farming is becoming a popular college course. Most programs are pushing for smaller farms and telling the students "if you can afford only one tractor"......small older tractor with a 3 point. Reason given are ease of repairs and the ability to find implements including new ones if need be. So even the H's and M's are off the list of tractors but the ones that replaced em with the fast hitch are on that list.
I know some of you guys are going to try to flame me over my thoughts but take a good hard look at your next tractor show.

As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
