I think backup equipment is good. some is worth it but some is not. have an extra tractor or loader is a good idea. For me right now I have a 5250 MFWD with loader that is the only tractor that runs during the winter. I need the loader for filling mixer wagon and then hook to wagon to feed. I have an belarus with loader as back up and 2394 or 1017 that can be hooked to feed wagon. for field work it is good to have a cultivator that fits the HP of spare tractor as it won't rust away. have an old press drill that can put in a crop even if it isn't an air seeder. Might not do canola but good enough for cereal grains. old hay equipment tends to rust away sitting so best to just buy parts machines of the same as you use. I know a one family has 2290 2090 maybe others that are the same. I asked him one day how many he had. he said 12 running and driving and almost that many as parts. he buys them all under $5000 with issues and fixes them in the winter. won't sell a one of them. another guy has belarus. 6 identical and has a hard time keeping one running. I think the idea of having more of the same is better than keeping your old one when you switch brands. the old one will need parts after 2 years sitting as that is just how it goes.
