Where are you located? I've done auctions at the same time another auctioneer was doing one 2 blocks away. I wouldn't worry about what else is going on in the country, advertise appropriately and the buyers will be there. I would think it would have to have some awfully rare and excellent conditioned tractors for someone to travel across the country to attend and at that it would only be a couple people. Most auctioneers now accept bids by phone so they can bid that way and still attend something else. Get an auctioneer with a good reputation and talk things over with him would be my advice. Be aware though, some auctioneers do mostly household sales and don't know anything about farm equipment ad they don't have a clue as to what a collectors tractor is worth but the buyers will. Also, keep in mind just because the person was a relative or friend, what he considered collectable is not the same in a buyers eyes. Good luck with the auction.
