Gotta agree. Fewer young people are getting into the hobby. Unless there is a drastic decline in the number of available tractors the price will be stagnate or will drop lower unless there is a dramatic increase in interest. The collectors and showers know what they have as do their families. The kids may or may not want "dad's" collection.

The smaller ones may be kept for a time if the have a belly mower but a big maybe. Suburban life isn't going to have room for many H's or G's.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
