I was talking about this with a farmer friend yesterday. $300K tractors, GPS, vertical tillage that's radar guided, etc. No one we personally know has anything newer than maybe 15 years old, most runs up to 35 years old for working tractors on "real" farms. (Guys like me that don't dairy aren't "real" farmers around here.) There just isn't enough money to buy anything new and the fields aren't big enough to use the real big new stuff effectively. The few BTO's have a tough time as it is getting down some roads and across bridges with the big Class type choppers.

I hope one day to have a tractor with a cab. That's high tech for me.
