Yup, the local field days where my club shows tractors has been wanting to get rid of the antique tractors for a number of years now. The one and only reason why they are still allowed to show there is because of the club president being on the board of directors of the field days.

If its not blowing smoke, or blowing up, most people don't want to see it. It always amazes me how most of the public doesn't even know what they are looking at.

Every time I sit in the stands at a pull I hear the most rediculous things from an audience of people who don't know anything about tractors.
By far, the most popular event field days have ever done is a demolition derby. Tens of thousands will flock to the grounds to see stuff smashed up.
