I think that was the point I was trying to make, and may have failed to do so.
Yes, today's tractors are incredibly complicated, and that also makes them expensive, not to mention prone to breakdowns and high repair bills. The question I'd have is do they need to be? Given a choice, I'd far and away prefer to buy a new, bullet proof, tried and true 3020 or 4020 for half of what one of the new whiz bang models would run, but they don't make em anymore. They could, and I wish they would, but they don't.
Wasn't long ago I saw an ad for a JD combine that had a heated seat. Really???? And many of them have more computer power than NASA had to send men to the moon. I don't need all that to just bale hay.
BTW, two tenants showed up to bale two neighbor's hay fields this summer. Both used over $250,000 of equipment to do the same thing I did, and with my old, but still good used equipment, I have less than $10,000 invested in all I have. I suspect the JD sales guys like them better than me.
