I think you are on the right track mark. The one point I would like to make is about the old machinery. I have been picking up and restoring pieces of old machinery for about 15 years. It was originally just a mattter of outbiding the scrap buyers. This is not the case anymore. I have assembled a pretty complete line of deere equipment from the fifties and it would be far more expensive to start over doing it today. When people say that tractor collecting will die I disagree. For one I dont consider myself a tractor collector and the other is that the hobby will continually change. How many pictures have you seen in magazines in the last year of a tractor with a mounted picker? How about a pull type combine in a field of wheat? This is just one change in the direction this hobby will go and yes more modern tractors will be come more collectable as time goes on as will the tools that go with them. In my opinion there is no point to having some classic tractors sitting around if they have nothing to do. I generally dont take tractors to shows, pulls, or parades but can be found many days in the heat and in the cold sitting atop a two cylinder deere along with friends and neighbors working our tractors and enjoying some good fun.
