I had never found any discussion in any thread on the TBN about what are the ARGUMENTS of buying an old(er) tractor or staying with it for the decades (including if those were bought new many years ago) versus obtaining modern one. I'm not taking into account the possibilities of a budget. Some owners might say they better keep running the present 12 or 30 years old machine because of its simplicity, easy in fixing, parts availability, dealer reliance, habits e.c. Some others might need more power, cab comfort, operation convenience, anti-pollution standards e.c.
I feel some guys would never change their tractors into new ones if even they are able to spend the required budget, and some others would never ever operate old ones - without turbos, common-rails, electronic control systems, hydro-transmissions... The ARGUMENTS of all tractor owners are respectable.
Just curious what they could be?
