I suspect future developments in tractors and combines will concentrate on higher capacity, improved efficiency, combined operations, and lower harvest losses.
Since the 1980's farming has shifted from family farms to corporate farms with non-family employees. Farm employment has dropped a lot since then.
I really doubt that many 1970's and 1980's tractors will be collectable, much less the tractors from the 2010's. Some might become museum pieces, but they won't be widely collected. They were not the common experience of their time and are now are too large and too expensive to collect, similar to semi tractors, grain driers, CNC lathes and other expensive pieces of industrial equipment. A few multi-millionaires might collect them. Most people who did not admire those machines in their teens and twenties will not be very interested.
