I think is in misouri at olds farm ?
I like the fence.
I've farmed with worse looking tractors than those.
Some of the stuff looks like it's longing for a good shed - like the hayracks - they look pretty good, but won't stay good out in the weather.
That guy might be a buyer/seller. We have a local guy whose place resembles that one.
I enjoy your pics.

Doesn't have money for a decent barbed wire fence. Probably wouldn't sell anything to a collector either, "going to fix them up someday".
When the estate is finally sold off. Many of those previously restorable machines will be rusted scrap and go to China.

Only way a guy can get close enough to take a picture to my place in if a plane or be trespassing since my driveway is a mile long

No I'm saying my drive way is a mile long. I have to cross another guys land to get to my place and that makes it so I live way out in the middle of no where and having the mile long drive way is just fine with me

That farmer can count on one thing there will be a whole lot of people in the World that think they know how to handle his business better than he does.

I guess since he most likely worked and paid for everything there it isn't anyone's else's business what he does with his stuff.
Thats the way it works those that can't manage their own affairs and accumilate anything think they can tell others that have enough smarts and
get up and go what to do with their stuff.

Does it make any sense to accumulate all this valuable equipment. Then let the equipment deteriorate in the elements until it's scrap. Is that wise financial and asset management?
If somebody buried a wad of cash direct in the dirt. Would you consider them a fool?

Its not up to me or you to decide what is a wise or foolish thing for someone else to do with their money.Personally I think all the money spent on horses and golf would be better to just burn it up as far as I'm concerned but hey if someone wants to spend their $$$ that way its fine with me.What do I care?And why should you?

Golf and horses isn't about golf and horses. It's an excuse to socialize.
Unlike those back hills, miles long laneway social introverts.
I'll ask you again. If somebody was burying wads of cash for "safe keeping" directly in the mud. You would be one of the first get that person's head checked. Is that any different than letting equipment rot?

Well last I heard castt iron doesn't 'rot'.And if you don't think having a field full of equipment like that won't get you alot of 'socializing'you'd be fooled.
I'd hazard a guess this fellow probably picked most of this stuff up pretty cheap and probably would be worth more than he paid for it right now which is a better investment than any of the so called investments the 'smart' guys have been peddeling the last few years.Of course this fellow could have spent a hundred a so a weekend for the last 10 years playing golf and had nothing to show for it or spent his $5000 a year on old equipment and let it increase in value which it has.So who really needs the 'headwork'?Anyway like I said its his $$$$ either way and really no one else's business but he's far from letting his $$$$ rot.You think big salvage yards are letting their $$$$ rot? With the increase in scrap prices most of these old non running tractors have 3X in value in the last 15 years compare that to GM stock.
