I heard analysis this was due to an inept marketing department failing to attract new customers.
We have a 1940 Allis-Chalmers tractor; if you take care of your equipment, you don’t need to buy new! ;)
At my old farm, they guys were planting, but then rain put an end to that. I’m sure they felt that the equipment was safe where it was, but once they packed it in, of course I HAD to climb inside and see what it was like!
OMG! You need three degrees, MINIMUM to run one of those things. And it’s Air Conditioned! And it’s ALL GPS this and that! And it had a TV set in there! I mean, I could’ve set up shop and lived out of the thing if it had a bathroom, LOL!
(Don’t give them any ideas!)
