Will they be here in 60 years? I don't know. A lot is going to have to do with the farmers. Are they going to be willing to do the repairs needed to keep a 60 year old machine operational or are they going to be a money pit?
As far as collectors? It's dying as most of us know and has been discussed here before. That too can affect how long a tractor is good for. Also sales volume will be a factor too. As an example the CaseIH Magnum 180. How many have been built and sold? How many have already gone to scrap because of accidents and fires? If the total numbers are low for production they won't make parts because it isn't profitable. Even with old tractors you see it today. Something like a Farmall H or Ford 8N you can find lots of parts because there are still a lot of them out there. Other tractors no so much for the same reason. Not enough sales to justify production of replacement parts.
Too many factors to figure out what's going to happen.
