Following a topic down on the N board. Is the hobby really dead as some suggest? I don't think so and offered an opinion. I think the range has narrowed as the number of people connected to agriculture has greatly declined over the past few decades. But the largest problem I see is that the income needed to support it is not there among a great number of younger people. Further, if somebody has the income they may not have a place to store or work on a tractor. Many fancy subdivisions have rule about what can be kept on a lot and there are rules as far as making noise and what can set in a driveway and for how long. Many who have moved off the farm after college watched the family sell off the farm so they have no place to take a tractor to or to work on. A personal if somewhat minor peeve is the elitism pushed by some collectors and it goes wwwwaaayyy past the 2 cylinder guys. When I worked at Central Tractor back in the 1990's some of the worst customers were the gray and red Ford owners. Which makes all the more surprising I bought an 860 around 20 years ago. I can still hear the sneer in my mind about one really nasty Ford owner and his Workmaster 6XX series.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
