When you compare small to big, you are really comparing apples to oranges. Two different catogories of people are supplying the demand for small and big. Your suburbanites, gardeners, hobby farmers, collectors, and tractor restores are supplying the demand for older smaller tractors like 8n Fords, Ferguson 30's, Cub, A, B, and C Farmalls, Massey Harris pony, ext. Demand is good right now and has been. Hard to say about 10, 20 years down the road. Basically, anybody trying to make some money at doing something, is going to want something bigger. That brings you into another catagory of people. Like somebody that works a 40 hour week job, and farms on the side as part of there income, or somebody that builds fence for a living and needs a loader tractor with post hole digger. Actually the large tractors you mentioned are actually middle sized, but these types of people are going to be interested in those. These types of people can't justify having a new tractor, but need a fairly good sized tractor to get things done. They go after the Ford 5000, MF 175, John Deere 3010/4020, ext. The people that actually farm and ext. for a living, want big, big, big and those that can afford it ussually run as new of stuff as they can, or brand new ones. To answer your question about demand a little more directly, the demand is probably better for the older smaller tractors and the newer big ones, more so than a middle sized tractor especially if it has some age on it. Of coarse you are going to have isolated cases every which way you look on this subject. I am just kind of generally speaking here. Just my 2 cents.
