I'll throw in my opinion. With tractors, the acid test in my opinion is capability and features. Live hydraulics, live PTO, power steering, 3 point hitch, etc. These things can be found on most tractors from the mid 1950s to 1960. That would put you close to the 45-50 year mark. An old tractor like these do just about as much work as the current models at a FRACTION of the cost. Collectors tractors are a different question entirely. There, production numbers, unique/desireable brand, mystique and age take over. Antique tractors from the 1940s are a dime a dozen so to speak, but it does not really mean is has collector value.
