I still consider myself in the young crowd. (30) I love farming and anything to do with it. I've wanted to farm since I was little. My dad was not a farmer. His dad is where I go the tractor bug from. He gave me my first tractor. An early 35 open fan shaft A that he drove working for a local man as a teenager before joining the air force. That tractor will never leave as long as I'm alive. I work a full time job in the ag. business and have a lawn care business on the side. 4 years ago I was able to buy a house and 15 acres of land. I have been able to rent a few more acres and have gotten into cows a little bit. I have 4 other 2 cylinders now and a new gen. tractor. At one time I thought I wanted a big collection with one of every model in it. As I got older and maybe a little more wise I have gotten away form that thought. I still would like to have several more models of old tractors. At the same time as I try to get more into farming I have learned that money needs to be spent on a tractor(s) that are going to help me make money. Thus not buying anymore old tractors right now. I need something faster and more efficient and most of all more reliable. Very few my age or anywhere close care much for old tractors and trying to collect some. I can tell though from watching other people around me my age. Some are very wise with money and some are not no matter what they like to do or collect. There are a lot of things that have already been mentioned on here that affect collecting. One or some of all of these things may play a part in the decline of collecting depending on where you are at in the country. This is my 2 cents worth. I still get on this page every day at least once. Always get way more out of it than what I contribute. This probably doesn't help answer your question much as I have been working on typing this for 45 minutes in between trying to book and order seed.
