*If that's the way to measure the quality of a tractor then why do so many farms have multiple tractors?
If he or you have more than one car you should get rid of all those junkers and get one good one good one to meet all your needs
You won't find too many full time farmers with multiple machines in the same size class unless they have multiple drivers and a specific need to run them simultaneously. For example, 2 JD 7730s planting corn or 1 7730 pulling a grain cart during harvest season while another 7730 drills soybeans in the harvested wheat fields. Or, on the smaller end of the farm spectrum, multiple tractors filling multiple niches on the farm. A high hp tractor for field work (planting, seedbed prep, running a large hay baler, etc), a mid size utility for moving hay bales and general farmstead maintenance (bush hogging, maintaining dirt or gravel rds, material handling, etc.), and possibly a compact or low clearance unit if there is a need for a small package to work in orchards, vineyards, or cleaning out barns, or powering an auger during corn or grain harvest season.
As for the car analogy, I can't think of many people who would own 2 Corollas and an Avalon just so they can take 1 to work, 1 to the mall, and 1 out for a nice dinner in the city (the automotive equivalent of LB's 3 tractors). As they say, different strokes for different folks. There's no doubt that 99%+ on this board would love to have more tractors, and while most of us would do it differently than LB did if we were laying out the cash for 3 tractors, so long as you're happy LB, our opinion doesn't really matter since you paid for them.
As for me, I'd love to have 3 tractors: I'd keep my MF 2823 for mowing the yard, get a Farmall A or Super A for cultivating the garden, and about a 25-30 hp B series Kubota or Class II Boomer with a loader for doing work at the farm.
