Would you give up your tractors for money?

What if someone offered you 3 times whatever you make now if you gave up your tractors and the deal was you could never own another tractor. Would you go for it?
 
My B aint for sale. Im tired of fighting with it, but i will eventually get it going. Thats got more sedimental value then money could repay.
 
Hell yeah!..I like my old tractors but there's more in life...cottage, cars, wife, grandkids,friends..snowmobiles, trucks.....want my phone number so you can buy me out???? I ain't married to a tractor and as I get older seat time is the most unappealing thing in my life...haybining for four or five hours becomes a mindless boring tedious job, the less time I spend on a tractor the better
 
No way Jose. I'll keep the tractors. You want to make me an offer on the wife? Maybe we could get some kind of deal going, but not the tractors.
 
As long as the wife and kids went with the deal, I would assist loading all items.

I'm getting old, and you start to realize that those projects are never going to get done regardless how old I might get.

It was a good trip, and enjoyed it, but now I would like to down size and stop pretending I will ever get around to it.
 
Absolutely! Where do I line up and sign up?

Then take my half of the money and give it to Nancy.

She would then be able to buy and own whatever tractors she wanted.

Life is great when your loved one also loves old JD tractors!

I will offer my mother in law to pull your plow if you don't mind the smell. If she reads this she will probably step on my neck. BIG BIG GALL with even bigger attttttatude!!
 
Funny you should bring that up. I have bought and sold tractors for more years than I care to remember, and some ol' boy told me something once that I never forgot- "In the used tractor business, your triumphs are soon forgotten, but your mistakes accumulate." I've got about 4 that have accumulated, and I just never seem to get to them. Today, I got a call out of the blue from a guy in Oregon that's into Allis Chalmers, who remembered that I had an AC D-15 with a bad Power Director (two speed "high-low"). He had someone who wanted it, and he would help with repairs. I named a price, he said "sold", and he'll be up Tuesday to pick it up. My backlog just decreased by 25%, as if by magic. Life is good.
 
Thats what I was thinking. He did not say your wife couldn't have more tractors. I thought it was bad that I had to fight my brother for the first look at the fastline every month when we were kids, my wife puts up a bigger fight than he did. Only chance I have is if Cow Country News comes on the same day.

Well, I traded a tractor away one time but didn't find out about it for a couple of days. Woke up the following morning with the worst hangover of my life, then layed around a couple of days getting over it. Wasn't till the third day that I found out when I went to the barn and the only tractor that I had at the time was missing. I asked where it was, and my now ex-wife, being one of my seventeen ex-wives told me that I traded it away. I asked her on what. She walked me to the side of the barn and pointed "On that, and this" holding up an empty bottle of whiskey, then pointed to the clothes that I was wearing that night that were way up high in a tree across the road at the church. The "that" that she pointed at...was a five bottom plow. Must've seemed like a good deal at the time, I guess. I don't drink or attend church socials anymore. Still went through four more wives after that though.

The answer to your question though...Nope.

Is this money thing just a one shot deal? Or do I get 3 times the money every yr? It dont matter my life would be a living hell without them. See I use them as an excape from the warden not to live on.If I had no tractors I would have to spend time with the wife. I will keep the 2 diversions, thank you.
 
At first thought, NO. Especially since two of them I have now have been in family since new, Ford 5000 row crop diesel, 1974, and F20 Farmall, 1936. After saying that, need to better define tractor. I can plow snow with a pickup or 4x4 four wheeler. My 49 Willys Jeep has PTO, could set up to bale or mo-co hay without too much trouble. Bale forks can be mounted in a pickup. Do I get to keep the combine? Do I get to exchange work for planting? Sometimes I am ready to sell all the tractors and equipment when nothing is going right, but would still probably say NO. DOUG
 
I would sell anything I have for the right amount of money, excepf for my wife. I would give her away. Just kidding here now, I don't think I could find anyone else to put up with me, and all my things. Stan
 
This was a question that I had came up with today when I went for a little walk in the woods by myself today. Got to thinking about the direction my life is headed and where I picture my life in 10 years. I was wondering to myself how unhappy I might be if I didn't have access to tractors anymore. I've always loved tractors ever since I can remember.
