rmaynard 14,909 #3 Posted December 22, 2010 In my opinion, a hoarder is someone that impulsively or compulsively acquires things that they will never use. I think you qualify as a collector. You actually do things with your tractors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grnlark 479 #4 Posted December 22, 2010 I think I'm a collector/borderline hoarder. Every couple months I have to go crazy selling stuff so I don't feel like I have a compulsive issue. If I was single, I think I'd end up on a big piece of property with multiple outbuildings full of cr@p and eventually wind up on the Discovery channel show.

dgoyette 12 #5 Posted December 22, 2010 I definately identify with collector and hoarder most. Except on hoarder the "want" I certainly want everything I have. I think there is a little of each in all of us or we would not be here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #9 Posted December 22, 2010 Not sure what I am....I have bought/aquired 3 usable tractors and 1 POS. I have not sold anything yet, so what does that make me....and no quotes from my EX! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boovuc 1,090 #10 Posted December 23, 2010 OK.....a hoarder is all the things you discussed but...... a hoarder would never ever part with an object. I know a guy, (a millionare but you would never know it by looking at him and the nicest person you would ever meet), who bought a couple really nice Gravely Walk Behinds and promptly put them in his fence row in the elements where they are to this very day. He wouldn't sell them regardless of price and he never gets rid of anything. That's a hoarder! Most of us are really weird. Different. March to a different drum maybe. But I don't think we are mostly hoarders. Except with any nuts, washers or screws! I have 200 lbs of them in my garage! My humble opinion!

Redbirdman 7 #12 Posted December 23, 2010 When I retired and moved 2500 miles away to Arizona I gave away (that's right: GAVE AWAY).... 22 perfect JD's...including a beautiful 1965 110 and an orange and white triple stick Patio 140 (about as rare as they get!), a bunch of Simplicitys and a couple Jacobsons. A complete shop including a wonderful lathe, welding equipment, air compressor and sand blasting equipment..... But I dragged with me, packed on my 12 foot landscape trailer one JD 116 as a golf cart/yard helper and my WHEEL HORSE RJ58's and my 701. I am certainly not a hoarder............but at this stage in my life, as long as my family is taken care of, no amount of money what so ever could buy those 4 tractors! Not a day goes by that I walk past them and run my hand over one of their hoods, or say Hi Girls, and pat one as I pass by. There is something special about those tractors, like the feel of the walnut stock on a good 12 gauge, or the sound of of a Colt 45 1911 charging, or the flick of the safety coming off a Beretta in your pocket when a couple creeps approach you on a dark night in a 7-11 parking lot...............There are some things in life (like a really good Gin and Tonic) That made all the work and pain worth every second! These are mine! BTW... she's 22 years old now and flys the Stearman every weekend! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
