Talked to a fellow in the last week that told me of an estate sale (don't know where but presumably here in NY. The fellow passed a few years ago apparently without heirs and the auction was within the last year. I'm not here to complain about what people do with their possessions while living. That is their business. But in this case the scrap man was very busy right down to hauling away tractors because they had deteriorated badly. The worst part for me upon hearing this story was the only winners were the scrap dealer and the lawyer who collected whatever fees they could to clear the property for sale. It's too bad the fellow in question did not have a plan to pass on the equipment he obviously valued personally. There are people out there who would value the equipment as much as the previous owner did but can't afford several hundred dollars for something that is not vital to their household or business. If it matters where a person's treasure winds up once they are gone then maybe some kind of arrangement should be made before they are gone. In the case of the tractors these were not undesirable oddballs. Don't know every tractor involved in the sale that I am referring to but there were a few IH row crops (560 gas) and a couple of 2 cylinder JD's.
