#1 Car repairs also. Dealerships control. New software say every five years requires new purchase of $5000 dollars. The vendors delivering product to stores, same upgrades required. Either you purchase or your out of business. So say it is a company like Pepsi. Delivery driver is monitored constantly. GPS, Time to stop. Time in stop. Car or truck repairs you are told you will be paid this amount and it will take whatever time they say. Go over on time then that's on you. Same thing in factory work. Efficiency rating. State police tickets written. Computers were supposed to make life better. They have imposed more oppressive control. Imagine Medical industry. This is our world today. EMP look out.

#2 The demand for old school non CPU tractors had driven up their prices. Give me a 1947 Farmall H any day!

#3 Farmall was my great uncle's go-to machine on his farm, Woodrow. Was a late 40's - very early 50's Super M version.

He had a smaller Ford 9N for around the yard too, but the Farmall was the everyday field tool.
