Went to a sale yesterday. A bunch of two cylinder tractors that weren't anything special and few ran. Still they'd have brought a fair bit more ten or twenty years ago.
Collecting is about nostalgia. Older fellows tend to have the money to collect and they're going to collect stuff that reminds them of their youth. Frankly, the guys who grew up on 2 cylinders and farmalls are dying off. Now, collectors are looking for the New Gen and 56 series tractors. That's what they grew up on, after all. The collector pool is going to get smaller and smaller as the group of older fellows that actually grew up on a farm get smaller. There was a huge amount of guys looking for 2 cylinders 30 years ago, there's a fair bit less amount of guys looking for 4020s now(and they're competing with guys like me who still use them), there will be very few collectors looking for 7000 and 8000 series tractors 50 years from now.
Of course, the collectors of tractors are ALWAYS going to go for rare machines of any age.
