Lived that way for 33 years. Missed a LOT of things while the kids were growing up. Things I'll never get back. On the other hand,when they were big enough to help in the barn,I spent more time with them than any father ever did with their teenage kids. Luckily the wife got over it,learned to do things with the kids without me. We made it. I sold those black and white pains in the neck four years ago and went to a good sized cow/calf herd. Use the silo and feedlot to finish their calves. I've got all the time in the world to spend with the grandkids now,doing the things I missed with my own kids. Financially,I'm as well off as I was milking,but..the dairy cattle paid for a LOT of stuff,so I'm able to do this now without the debt load that I had while raising a family. Don't know if the beef cattle would have given me the cash flow to be where I am today or not. I really don't have any advice to give you. Just hope your wife will stick it out until you can afford to get rid of the cows. Mine says she WILL leave me if I ever milk another cow.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
