I'm one of the old timers with old equipment. I'm retired now, but had the same when I was working. A 1952 Ford 8N. At times I yearn for one those $30K green machines or Kabotas, but when they break, you have to send them to the shop . My old tractor,I can call up TSC and have a part in 24 hours, and fix it myself. Unless it stops running completely, I can always get $3500 out of it.
