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.
