I say it's the smart crowd doing the buying. I say this because the older stuff may be 'out of date' but it will never be obsolete. =========== I can't saw that I agree with your outlook. I suppose it depends upon what age of tractors we are speaking of.
Here on the plains not a lot of row crops were grown until minimum tillage and no-till really took hold. That was in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Prior to about the mid 1960s there were few tractors around that even had 3 point hitches on them. Everything was done with drawbar implements.
