We never got rid of hardly any tractors. And the few we did, I wish we had them back. The last one that left was almost thirty years ago now, but we have bought more in that time period. My grandfather and dad always thought of them as family members. My great grandfather only ever had two tractors in his life and we still have one of them. I have no idea where his Farmall Regular is and would have no way to identify it as his if someone claimed to have it. I would be very surprised if any that are here now ever leave unless my children sell them after I’m dead. 

We were the opposite.  Grandpa and GG were never sentimental about hardly anything and dad is somewhat.  When something better came along old tractor it got traded.  We sent tractors like our 4020 and 4640 down the road, tractors that go in the JD Hall of fame.  The few old tractors we did keep still had a use like our TD-14A for dirt work.  I have made it my mission to collect tractors like we used to have and so far I have 3 of them.

  Dad always said that his father was never sentimental about farm equipment as well.  Both grandfathers were gone by the time I turned 6 years old so I never personally knew them.  Dad never thought about turning the cutting torch loose on any tractors but he did cut up some tillage tools that his father had.

Dad was not sentimental about tractors but liked good reliable equipment (tractors, cars, trucks. Etc). Age didn't matter. It's ability to reliably get the job done was paramount. 

Oh and speed as little money as possible...
