That would include me. I guess after a life time of having to farm with 
patched up second hand equipment it has become almost a religion with me. Of 
course now I have the excuse that with the few acres that I farm it does not 
pay to spend the money on new equipment. Quarter million dollar combines on 
1000 acres can't be justified.  I've spent many hours patching up some old 
junker and if I was being paid by the hour it just wouldn't make sense. But 
theres a satisfaction in seeing that old stuff working knowing its because 
of my efforts.
