Yup, the local field days where my club shows tractors has been wanting to get rid of the antique tractors for a number of years now. The one and only reason why they are still allowed to show there is because of the club president being on the board of directors of the field days.
The rest of the board sees them as a waste of space and a security/lawsuit concern for them, since the vast majority of the attendees don't give a hoot about the antiques.
If its not blowing smoke, or blowing up, most people don't want to see it. It always amazes me how most of the public doesn't even know what they are looking at. They think a 105hp Case IH is in the same league as a John Deere 7810 just because they are in the same weight class for example, then are quick to think Case IH sucks. Every time I sit in the stands at a pull I hear the most rediculous things from an audience of people who don't know anything about tractors.
By far, the most popular event field days have ever done is a demolition derby. Tens of thousands will flock to the grounds to see stuff smashed up.
