Less tractors for sale in photo ads

[Joe Ferguson]

As the time pass I see less and less tractors for sale in photo ads.
I think there are less old tractor enthousiasts like me. I am curious
to see the age average of this formum members. It may be because
we learned or used these tractors when we were young. The interest
in old tractors and machinery is unfortunately slowly vanishing.

There is nothing strange or unusual about that. Every age group is interested in what they grew up with/worked with, etc.

Other than a few individuals who take an interest in items of a different/older generation, interests wane as each generation grows older/passes on.

The site has just recently applied an upgrade which according to posts made by the administrators has led to an influx of new members.

That doesn't sound like dying to me. Changing would be a better description, moving onward even.

Things change. Those who don't/won't change get left behind.

Guess what!

Since the new forum started, new members have joined at an average rate of 17 per day.

Versus an average of 5 per day on the old forum.

I looked at the site from the link but where do you find it from the main page. Also there are no locations on the ads.

I don't see how to get there either. I clicked the arrow by Marketplace but that takes you to the old site.

As for locations, that would be supplied by the poster I would think.

Ok so I am still blind , What you are showing doesn't come up on mine. I see forums but nothing else. I'm using a laptop not a phone if it makes a difference.

I see it on my desk top.

Did you click the arrow for the drop down menu at the end of Marketplace?

I might note that stuff like this is a bit cyclic, people who want vintage tractors get them and are busy working on them so not buying. Sales a bit generational i.e. selling before retiring or after folks have passed.

There are about six paths to the new ads:

About where the new ones can be found.....
I created this dissertation in this link to another thread which may be useful.

OR...........

The fastest way to get to the new ads is in the first screen shot below.

Are not people retiring and dying on a regular daily basis anymore?
