I don't know where the hobby is headed. I've wondered about where the value of old tractors is headed myself. I don't expect mine to increase in value. Yea, I like those grandpa used to have and those farmers used when I grew up. I don't foresee myself going to antique iron shows or parades--just not into walking around looking at stuff covered in don't touch signs. I want to use and have fun with what I have. Don't really enjoy fixing them--I do that to use them. I love really pretty ones but it's expensive to fix them that good. I try to buy ones in good mechanical condition as I don't like to fix them. I hope in the future they do go down in price :) so I can buy more already fixed up nice and play with them. But it also depends on how much land and what work I have to do as to what tractors I'll be able to play with. Nothing worse than having a nice tractor and implement and nowhere to use it.
One thing hit me hard was watching a show on locomotives where a museum was switching out a steam engine they had one display for a diesel noting younger visitors didn't want to see steam engines but diesels. Well, I like them both but removing a steam locomotive is almost sacrilegious.

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
