A sign of the times and simple demographics. I see it as an aging dying hobby. Many current collectors either owned one of those tractors years ago or dad or grandpa had one but as all of them age those days have to come to an end. Sure, there will always be collectors but once the days of dad or grandpas tractor having sentimental value are over, the hobby has to shrink in my opinion.
Some years ago I gave several Workshop Seminars at the Two Cylinder Expo in Iowa and that was more the prime time. Some (Two Cylinder Club) were sort of stuck up and snooty lol with the big rich collectors who hired thousand dollar paint jobs on their tractors seeming to have the attitude my tractor is rare and perfect but yours is a piece crap lol
However, the rest of the world will somehow still survive regardless if the Expo goes on or not, times change, people age, interests change, it doesnt affect my life one way or another, my priorities are God Family and Country NOT tractors or hobbies or worldly posessions, I'm a happy satisfied and content man in my old age.
