[AT] Tractors and family

Lots of good answers and ideas here. My take is the owner didn't want to 
cause turmoil and arguing after they were gone.  Turn the estate to cash and 
split it up by whatever percentage you wish. If the heirs want some of your 
stuff then they can spend what they'll be getting after the sale.

I went to an auction yesterday with quite a collection of tractor, old 
engines etc.  Before I get to my question, I thought it was neat that the 
first tractor they sold was an Aultman Taylor 30-60 in mint original 
condition.  He was the second owner, and the buyer was the grandson of the 
first owner (paid $130,000).

Anyway, it was apparent that several of the tractors were bought by the 
sellers grand children.  They ended up paying a pretty high price for most 
of them.  Here's my question, if your grandkids (or kids) were that 
interested in your tractors, why wouldn't you just give them to them instead 
of making them pay for them after your gone?

It can't be just about the money, from the appearance of the place, they had 
enough, and made $250,000 from the sale of just the first five tractors.

Enjoy, Joe
