I've been buying, selling and collecting for 35 years now and I'm of the opinion that the prices of common tractors has fallen and will continue to fall. The only thing that could possibly help the supply and demand chain would be if enough of them got sold for parts or scrap to bring the supply down. The real rare ones that the average couldnt afford 10 years ago will continue to rise. I havent paid close attention to the Kruse auction, but the bits and pieces I've heard seem to bolster the opinion. In my area, there have been close to a dozen auctions of collectors that have either passed away of lost interest. In each case, prices have been dissapointing when a person compares to assets you have at home. I tend to concentrate on IH's from Super H to the 656 range and I can tell you that finding and buying them at a price I think I can make a buck at is the easiest it has been in 15 years. I used to have to really search to buy and now I'd say about 50% of my tractors have come and found me. Just my take from central Minnesota.
