One question I have. Why own several tractors if your just a normal owner and not a collector or enthusiast?
I have - Farmall M (relic)
Massey Ferguson 1080 (operational)
Kubota mx5100 (less than 1 year old)
various lawn tractors of which only 1 currently works.
The Farmall M stays in the barn unless I have another member of our family that wants to restore it. Too much family history to sell. MF 1080 took a lot of my time keeping it going and didn't have a FEL so I bought the Kubota - but it's still nice having a big tractor around when you need it.
Reason I ask is I'm currently trying to decide whether to keep the MF1080 or sell it. It's kind of nice to have another tractor if one has problems - but with 4 vehicles and 2 running tractors I'm starting to feel like I'm spread fairly thin. Then again when I see how many some of you have I think maybe I'm just getting started on my collection.
