Sitting here trying to get warmed back up after being outside all morning. Reading yesterdays post about highest numbers of tractors sold and Fordson seems to be the big winner (at least in American tractors, and anyway this is an antique forum so does the Mirinda count?)
So I did a quick check on eBay and here is the item totals for what is selling currently, JD & IH, nobody else is even close.
This is all in the Business & Industrial> Agriculture & Forestry> Antique Tractors & Equipment Catagory with sub-catagories listed below. Thanks for looking.

Farmall (1754)
Manuals & Books (309)
Parts (1149)
Tractors (154)
Other Antique Farmall (159)

John Deere (1832)
Implements (14)
Manuals & Books (551)
Parts (991)
Tractors (107)
Other Vintage Deere (167)

The next closest catagory was Ford with a pretty good showing in the "parts" catagory. Fords are popular and plentiful and the supply of new aftermarket parts is unreal.

Ford (1197)
Manuals & Books (161)
Parts (911)
Tractors (85)
Other Antique Ford (35)

Don't know about e-bay, but I know that just about every farm sale I go to, there is an 8N on it.

That would make sense as those 2 companies have the most tractors total out there. The more tractors a company produces, the more used ones will be for sale at any given time.

Now for the highest selling models, it seems the least popular models of the time sell for better money now. Again obvious because less were made as they were less popular for production agriculture at the time. This is either because they were unlikable at the time or very specialized.

I can't believe the price people pay for a high crop or standard. I'd rather have my 800 dollar 60 and 1000 dollar B than a $70K 730D Electric start hi-crop(one for sale in December GM for anyone who can't live without it). At least I can still use mine.

You have to remember the for sale ads are often the tractors they no longer want, or realise they need something better.....
Not saying your analysis is wrong, just that it might not show the VALUE of the items or that the rarer items do not come up for sale because 1 - they are rarer and 2 - people tend to hang on to them much tighter.

I was just thinking numbers. Every brand has rare tractors that bring big dollars. Some of the most valuable were made by companies that only built a few tractors.

we collect just about every color..... got a '50 G and a UB Special and something that I bought off of e-bay two weeks ago that needs a front end under it - I think it is another G, but hubby will figure all that out when the guy brings it home - just in time for Christmas...we also have some Case tractors and a Farmall, and some JD tractors. I am looking for an Oliver 88 to add to our pile.....

WOW!!! We have been pulling for a couple of years and really enjoy it. We pull with a good group of folks and we take our kids (2 & 4). Kids get a kick out of it, 4-year-old has a room full of pedal pulling trophies and the 2-year-old has just about all the folks in the assoc. wrapped around her little finger. I pull a Case VAC in the 3300# class, we have a 300 that pulls in the 5600# class, a MM-G we pull in the 7600# class and the 8600# class and a Case LA that pulls in the 8600# class. Would like to add at least one more medium size tractor or get the other LA put together so I can pull head to head against hubby, but he doesn't seem to interested in putting it together.....wonder why? We pull around the Tulsa, OK area, but ain't opposed to traveling to pull somewhere else too....

Pullin has kinda died out around here--back then we pulled every weekend in the summer--sometimes sat and sun--I have 3 sons and they were 7-5-4 at the time--they are still talked about today--they had shirts made that said "we pull for dad" and there names on them--saw one of those shirts on a 4 yesr old grandson the other day
