I was thinking about looking around to see if I could pickup a Collectable Antique tractor, wondering what the smartest choice is.
Hopefully not like the best day of boat ownership is the day you buy topped by the day you sell it :( !

There are many to pick from but I think I would go with a Ford Model N if I were just starting out, probably be able to find parts for it. Tough choice to pick one that is optimal. ....

Years ago I learned a very important point from the dealer I bought my first two Kubotas. I was asking about an Old Ford, maybe an N not sure now. He told me the prices or demand was not what they use to be. Puzzled me. He said people who buy the older tractors are mostly men who grew up using that model tractor and left the farm and now have retired or at least gone to gardening or other small operation.
Listen on tv ads what type of music they are selling, they are selling to those who have income to spend on collectibles and what was popular when they were young.
My suggestion, look at YOUR AREA. What was popular in its day. That will provide the best selling market for you if or when you decide to sell it for what ever reason. In my area it was small farms. The Ford N's and 601, Massey 35s and not sure the JD models of that time and Farmall and International. As much as I liked my wife's Ford 601 and my nephew's N would not select them to collect. Why, in my area the old JD get the attention. The brands who are now gone don't get much attention. Which sadly I think leave Case, MF and JD. ....
