I am a jack of all trades ,selfeducated , mechanic by trade.I have a 1800 acre ranch and a repair busines.I run all[old] tractors and equipment.this is by choice altough money played biiig part in desiding.it all boils down to economics.I run my 3 tractors about 100 hrs each yr.2 are 1855 oliver 1972, 1 1978 belarus 800 with frt ldr.one runs the haybine,other one the baler.the belarus is the chore horse.1963 112 JD lawn tractor,picked up for $50.- 15 yrs ago. 1950 AC HD10 cat $4200.- 15 yrs ago,paid for itself clearing fenceline in 1st yr.
paid $12000.- for all 3 tractors 20 yrs ago, spend maybe $9000.- in parts over the years incl tires.Payments on 1 new tractor would prob exeed that.
equipment is no newer than 82,and paid for,bought used as well. all machinery is kept mechanicly in top condition,but the color of them are slowly matching to an even brown.The wife,animals and i don't complain. but the neighbors snicker,they run shiny green and red stuff,but come to me to keep it running as soon as warranty expires.and spend enough on repairs so i COULD but dont buy a brandnew truck a yr.
the older stuff has no pesky electronics and when a batt,gen or starter goes south a quik pull gets you back to work for the day.so for economy sake alone the old beats the new by 20 country miles IMO
