The varying opinions about JD Seller's 1466 got me thinking as to how we view what a collector is. Some seem to think the age of a tractor plays into it as though if a tractor is of a certain vintage or newer then it is not desired by a collector. If an owner buys a tractor to use vary sparingly such as a couple of hours a year does that mean the tractor was not bought to collect even though it is seldom practical to own a tractor for such limited use? My life's limited experience has shown me that there are tractors out there owned by people just for the sake of owning it and if it never gets to a show then no loss. I know of more than one JD 4440 that is kept on those terms. I know of tractors that have not been to shows in a couple of decades so even though somebody has collected it a person who is under age 25 probably has never seen any of those tractors at a show.
