In Reply to: Declining Tractors Interest. posted by dej(jed) on May 30, 2007 at 07:54:14:
I don't know what to say... I'm 26 years old and my spare change goes to my old tractors and 51 IH L-120 pickup. My wife thinks it's great because I'm not the type to sit in the bar or chase skirts - so I work on our vehicles and collect parts for my tractors. The fuel price has been a problem for me since it went over $2 - our farm is 50 miles away from ANY parade or show and I always have to borrow Dad's trailer and pickup (or my brother's pickup). It was just too expensive for me as a college kid to do it... Now that I'm working full time teaching and have a solid income I plan to haul the Farmall A down here to AZ and start restoring it this fall. I'm just going to bite the bullet and pay the price for a trailer and the fuel to get it moved down here. I've got to get it ready for the next generation of my family that my wife and I are currently working on ;o) I really hope I can spark interest with him/her. I think every generation goes through worry about what is going to happen in the future, it's the natural cycle of things. I believe there are enough young people getting started that our hobby will be preserved.
