To you maybe, not to these youngsters. I'm 58, love fast things. Each to his own. The very idea of a tractor pull bores the heck out of me. I played on tanks for 20 years. Show a tractor that will out pull an 70 ton M1A1 tank and I can still outshoot that tractor! But if pulling is your thing there is nothing wrong with that. But don't expect some speed junkie bullet bike riding 20 something year old to even be interested in trying. Now give em a chance to run one of the big guns pulling and they just may like that. I've got 4 sons between 29 and 40. The oldest would restore an R JD because he has fond memories of spending time on it with my dad. He wouldn't show it because he'd be bored at a show. #2 is not interested at all. #3 would only be interested in the big gun pullers and that wouldn't last because they are not exotic sports cars. #4 would do it to please me. He would stop the second I was gone. He isn't kissing up. He just likes doing things with me but would rather spend time shooting or reloading with me. Right now only #2 son could afford it. #1 made some poor career choices, #3 is getting married Friday and has spent his money for the next couple of years getting ready for the wedding. #4 is a student. He did 4 years in the Navy and is now Army National Guard. He tried working after he was done with active duty and decided to take a 2 years gun smith program. So even kids with experience around tractors may not be interested.
