Someone made a comment about how the old tractors would still be built if people still farmed 80-160 acres.
Well fast forward to today. I don't think so. People are different. They don't want to have the top down all the time. They happen to like both heat and AC. Guess what, I do too. These old machines that we enjoy would not be on small farms with younger people. Jut look at cars. In 1970 or so most cars even an AM radio was optional as was AC or any other of the nicer creature comforts. Today find a car/truck that doesn't have all that stuff! They would be the same way with a tractor today. Heck I haven't seen a farm sized tractor that's open station new from the factory in years.
