Delta Red, Guys, The reason for what you say IMO is the climate OR just Trash Bomb Farmers!
Up North were the winter are so miserable and snowy Storage barns were constructeds to hold the Horses and Live stock and they could be tended too!
When Mechanization came to the the farm the same principal applies....Storage so the plow wasn't covered with 6 feet of snow an the moldboards were rusted so, winter maintence could be preformed without have to dig out the Implement to so service work prior to spring work. The Sale & Trade in Values were secondary or inadvertent benefits harvested along the way.
Here in Texas Why do you need a Barn to hold tractors when not in use? A Very large Shade tree will protect the paint from the 105* sun of summer and most shop work was done in the shade of trees. Our really Cold weather is only about 45 days long. so being covered up in snow is just about unheard of! Major shop work was done inside a shop usually but not stored. that is the way I see it Storage buildings for tractors have not ever been as prevalent here as up North!
Just because a farmer doesn't have Barn storage for his Equipment doesn't mean he is a trash bomb!
Trash bomb Farmers are everywhere. I have a neighbor who doesn't have very good equipment. If given an Anvil, A rubber hammer and a sand-bed all three will be torn in 3 days. They buy nice tractors, pickups, plows they just treat it all like crap and it goes downhill in short order!
JMO!
Later,
John A.

Today's Featured Article - New Life for an Old Allis - by Tyler Woods. My friend Jon, has an old '39 Allis Chalmers B. He thought it a marginal tractor that had long since served its time. She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start ... [Read Article]
