animal, I don't consider having old tractors a hobby. My 2 old tractors are working girls. I would only consider replacing my girls with younger ones, but most of the new ones are diesels and I can't stand the smell of diesel.
I do own a 10 year old tractor. It's gas. There isn't an older tractor that can do what the new one can. However I did meet two brothers in their 30's who like the old working tractors, because they are simple enough for them to repair. They have a small truck farm.
I doubt if my kids keep any of them when I'm gone.
So as the older generation dies off, so will the number of old tractors, especially the working tractors.
