Question for Erol. Have you ever spent money on something that you did not plan to sell later at a profit? If money is your "god", I suggest that you collect it not tractors. Probably the only way to make money on collecting something is to buy it brand new and preserve it for a long period of time. It works with coins but not to good for machines that were meant to be operated and maintained. I have a 50 year old tractor because it is adequate for the work I need done, plus it reminds me of what the tractors were like when I graduated from high school. I would like to think old tractor collecting is not a fad like beanies babies, beer cans or cabbage patch dolls. As others have mentioned, many are just toys and remember "You can tell a man from a boy by the price of the toy". Have a nice day.
