I "BOUGHT" new tractors because i wanted to be able go to the barn, get on the tractor and have it start, run right and go when i needed it!!! With out working on it! I do custom work with my tractors for profit, and also grow some cash crops. I got tired of monkeying with leaks ect., ect., and putting up with not haveing some of the newer features i wanted. NOT all new tractors have "black boxes", so to dump all "new tractors" in one lump is wrong!! You have to "pick and choose" to get what you want, and avoid what you "don't" want!! I bought new in "86", "97" and "99", (i think?) and so far i haven't had to buy a lot of parts. Mine don't have a lot of electronics, and infact, are more like the "newer" old tractors, in that you can work on them at home!! The two newest ones are used the most, and all three have always started when i needed them, and been on the job makeing me money every time there's a job to do!! I just don't think you can make a "general" statement and say "new tractors will not hold up as the years pile up!!" Mine have for me!! Robert
