I enjoy reading about old tractors and equipment even though I no longer own any. I like the comments and observations of people who work on the older models.

It would be fine if the late model tractors had their own section.

The poll question itself is ridiculous. This site already has a section titled "Today's Tractors" and it is way down at the bottom under Miscellaneous. Why would you ask if you should expand to something that is already included?

This.

Also, if off topic posts were restricted to the off topic forum, Tractor Tales, instead of being scattered randomly throughout other forums it would make for a much more cohesive site.

Any other sites I am a member of the mods/admins move off topic posts to the off topic forum where they belong.

I agree with DB. It seems since change there are much more OT topics on Tractor Talk than before change to newer type forum. Granted there are more regular viewers than before change.

I like the new format, it’s a lot easier to post pictures. Thank you for hosting this site.

Thanks for your feedback! We would look to expand "Today's Tractors" into a similar format that we have right now - listed by Manufacturer but for Late Model Tractors. This would be in an entirely new section.

Don't you already have this in the brand specific forums? I've seen many, many questions related to modern tractors both in Tractor Talk and in various brand forums over the years.

Also, what is the definition of a late model tractor? In my opinion, there are tractors that haven't been made for almost 30 years that would still be considered a late model tractor by the vast majority of the users here. As an example, the JD 7000 series of tractors were replaced by the 7000 ten series in 1996. I personally think the JD 40, 50, 55 and 60 series are pretty late model, but I'm sure there are others that would consider a tractor that is old enough to be an antique would not be a late model tractor.

What is considered "late model"? I know to qualify as "antique" most places consider equipment at least 30 years old can be classified as "antique". That being said, tractors from the early 1990's are antique, which to a lot of people are a modern tractor or "late model". Maybe have another poll to see what everyone's thoughts are on what to consider "late model" tractors and equipment, like what year and newer do you consider late model? Just a thought that might help with everyone's decision.

So what’s my 2555? I think this might create too much of a sea that would mean 2 sections of everything at least the big 3 red green AGCO then what else? I feel like the sections were a big deal on the classic and that it’s up to the op to put them in the right spot which will be intermittent at best. I say let it be. Keep the section for today’s tractors and if they find it great if not it’s going to be ok the modern ones generally fall under one of the sections though r series and model r in John Deere world mean two different things. C series farmall and farmall super c. It’s not like they don’t fit in the section category

Very true, as there is already confusion at times for instance when someone asks about a John Deere 820, it could be the 2 or 3 cylinder tractor

This may be "Mandela Effect" on my part, but didn't there used to be a site that looked nearly identical to yesterdaystractors.com called todaystractors.com, complete with a forum that was virtually identical in format to YT? It was all split out by manufacturer and ran the same old "Classic" forum software at the time.

I remember looking into it now and then but it seemed pretty dead.

I've been participating in online forums since the 1990's and my experience is when you carve things up too much, it gets messy quickly. When you start saying tractors over a certain age have to go in one category, and tractors under a certain age have to go in another category, now you end up with two categories for many of the major brands and you've created an extra load for your moderators, who now have to shuffle posts around because people are confused and don't know where to post.

As someone said people already post about "newer" tractors here. Maybe rather than creating a whole separate branch of the site, add categories for some of the younger brands like CaseIH, Agco brands, New Holland? After all, 1985 was 39 years ago.

Are the current tractor brands all lumped into one category???
Perhaps that is what should be done with all of the current tractor brand categores.
If the one category for all modern tractors is okay for you, it must be okay for all??

 

[Janicholson]

A brand specific link to a new forum is desirable. Coexisting with current topics on the same splash page, and as its own link from Parts ASAP would be good. But not just expanding the current forum to include near new and new tractors. It night destroy the community we have. Jim

I would rather see the "Filters" function made a one-time selection rather than an every Forum selection.

it sounds like a good idea just so long it doesn't get mixed in with the older tractor forums.

Y'all actually thought you would get folks here to vote?? Nope , you gonna get opinions not a yes or no vote .

 

[Fixingfarmer]

I voted they just didn’t give me a sticker!

By section do you mean an additional forum under the "Forums" heading?
