I'm not a farmer and never was but I do love the old tractors and all the stuff that goes with them, including this website.

Anyways, this fellow with the tractors had a ton of old stuff, tractors, balers, all sorts of things. That was his operation and he told me that he does OK. He had so much of the old stuff that when something broke down he just used some other stuff that he had, meanwhile fixing equipment when he had time. He claimed it was the only way he could make a go of it. I sure envied that man, he seemed to be a pretty happy character from what I saw.
