Located in a huge junkyard outside Douglas, WY. Wish I had a bit more space on the right but the object residing there would have been time consuming to eliminate. I consider these things now a days.

LOL, I like your thinking, Byron! It might not be that hard to clone/extend the image further to the right. Bet Bob could do it

I like your choice of processing very much and the leafless tree adds interest.

Bob would be my choice for this task. We have collaborated on another image in the past. Thanks for sharing my sense of humor and your comments.

Here's how I did it. This works in PS CC 2015.5 and you almost need the latest version because of a little tweak they put in the Content Aware Fill utility called "Color Adaptive".
These commands were all from within PS CC 2015.5. Image>Canvas Size: changed inches to pixels, New size - 300 pixels; Relative - checked; and under anchor, I clicked on the left side center arrow so that all the extra pixels would be added to the right side of the image. I use a Canvas extension color of bright yellow so I can differentiate the new "blank" canvas. When I clicked OK, I got a bright yellow rectangle, with a selection of "marching ants" about the edges. While it was still selected I used the Magic Wand Tool to select the yellow rectangle, then Select>Modify>Expand and "Expand by 2 pixels". The effect of this is to grab 2 pixels from the original image so it can match colors and textures. Then I executed Edit>Fill: Contents - Content Aware; Color Adaptation - checked; Blending Mode - Normal; Opacity - 100% then clicked OK. It did a credible job of of extending the borders, but here and there I used the Spot Healing Brush to cover up some of the patterns that matched too closely.

Great shot, love this in B&W!!

That little bit made big difference! My compliments. I knew this would be tricky and you made it happen. Thank you. It was shot wide angle and HDR. The sky is the give away. I was warned to watch out for rattle snakes in the area so my nerves were a bit stressed.

B & W is a very appealing choice for this shot. I really like the rough texture of the grass in contrast to the still smooth metal of the tractor and the tractor has really good detail. The extra bit of space Bob added on the left side works well too.

Very well done! Perfect in the B/W. My own sad comment is that the title applies equally to me, lol!

A great timeless image for the ages! Love it!

I just love that image. I love the slight sepia effect, the detail and sharpness, the tonality of the whole image and the tree in the background with what looks like an eagles nest in it.
I hope you don't mind but I thought I'd have a go at give=ing you a bit more on the right hand side. I did this by extending the canvas 1cm to the right. Then selecting the extension and then going Edit, fill and selecting content aware and finishing off with the clone tool. Done in a hurry so could be better.

EDIT: Sorry just read further and saw Bob had already done this for you. My apologies.

Thank you. Considered the toning to be the most critical element when I processed this image.

Why thank you for noting some of the elements you found to your liking! Also sincerely appreciate the work you did on extending the canvas. I love learning about the many techniques available in PS to accomplish ones vision.

Thank you. Doubt you are useless but I feel that way at times as well. The junkyard was jam packed with assorted farming gear and forgotten industrial machinery. This big guy was mostly isolated waiting for his chance to shine.

Thank you! What better motivation to capture this scene than timeless.

I liked that element as well. The b/w treatment enhanced the image in so many ways. Thanks for noticing and commenting.
