About 5 years ago I had a health wake up call,( I am getting old)
and I didn't want my kids to to have to deal with a lot of vintage Green farm equipment.
After trying to sell it to some "collectors" that would not give scrap prices I hauled it to the scrap yard, one load @ a time
They gave me between .08 to .10 a pound, prices were up as China was buying it all.
I sold about #40,000
5 years later I don't miss one piece of it, but do miss the ability to say I have that piece of equipment.
I did sell a 1936 18" one bottom plow, and a 4-14" trailer plow to a guy who does plow days with 2 cyl green tractors.
That makes me happy that they are being used.
Getting old is not what it was promoted to be when I was young.
