I know where you are coming from. In most cases, the wife will outlive the husband. On top of that, I am diabetic, which normally means even shorter life span. I had accumulated around 200 old tractors that I have been selling parts off of. The market this past year has been nowhere near recent years. Also, can't put my finger on it, but something inside me said its time. Last fall, I started scrapping out. I'm getting $.09 per lb which I think is pretty good. I first thought I would thin the herd, but it seems the more I haul, the more I'm ready to haul. Decided I'd much rather leave my bride another 30-40k than 5-10 acres of scrap metal that someone would probably beat her out of. I plan to still play with old tractors a little bit but not have 10 acres of inventory. It has pained me to haul some of them off when I knew there was somebody out there looking for it but Overall, I haven't regretted my decision.
