Gotta agree. Fewer young people are getting into the hobby. Unless there is a drastic decline in the number of available tractors the price will be stagnate or will drop lower unless there is a dramatic increase in interest. The collectors and showers know what they have as do their families. The kids may or may not want "dad's" collection. The ones that decide to get rid of them when dad is gone (and unfortunately that's going to be sooner rather than later for many collectors) are going to flood an already bloated market. The smaller ones may be kept for a time if the have a belly mower but a big maybe. Suburban life isn't going to have room for many H's or G's.
