Probably pay the same for the right picture hung on the wall, all depends on the knowledge of the buyer I suppose, and hope for the future.

There are plenty of 80s and 90s classics making more money than they cost new, I think the way the hi tec tractors are going,with complicated systems, there will always be a following for the older work horses that are simple to keep running and you don,t need a laptop when it won,t start.

Its also the fact that 20 year old tractors can still have a place on today's modern farms with 40/50k, a/c, trailer brakes, q cabs etc, a 20yr old tractor in the nineties would likely be 2wd and a Duncan cab.

On my relatives farm there is fordson major which belonged to my late uncle that will never be sold, it's value is sentimental

Definitely not my bag, but my near neighbour is a general car/machinery nut and has several barns, no kidding, packed and stacked to the rafters with FE35's, 35X's and other assorted 'golden era' Massey's, that he's had restored. Not just one or two, I'm talking dozens of machines.

I've heard of people using them as future pension pots. Makes sense... buy them when you can afford or when they are going cheap, work on them on wet days and just by keeping them they go up in value. Sell one or several whenever you need the cash... and I suspect many of these things will be cash sales too. Best bit though, you have something nice to look at and care for, maybe even take out on a run in the summer, or do a stint with a haybob listening to the lovely old rattle of the 3 cylinders. Even if the economy goes tits up, the classic tractor will be safe.

No inheritance tax on cars. Or tractors in private collections.

Collectors paying big prices are looking at things from another angle.
As I was a photographer in another life I know that this was the world's most expensive photograph at auction. In 2011, it sold for $4.3 million.
That has now been eclipsed by another black and white image making $6.5 million
Makes that County look cheap I reckon.

When The buyer bought it did they also get the negative ???
i'm not saying that there are not some great photos , but that is almost certainly not one of them but as you have just reproduced it to very good quality copy i could hang it on my wall after a quick visit to tescos to get it printed.
So what was the background to the sale ? I'm pretty much convinced that in the art world the substance of your art has pretty much nothing to do with the value .
Far more value is attributed by the rubbish said by either the artist ( in this case maybe the photographer) or and probably more importantly the "critic types" who tend to come up with just about every conceivable reason for something to be art and "meaningful" other than it looking Nice if you can get them on side with the promise of "few quid" or "there is a good Drink in it for you"

Well I have a 35x Multipower that I have to do up, should be some money in that once done. Some of the JD 7810 and 6910 make a hell of a price, chap I know had a mint 1,500hr 6910, one of the last, he was being offered stupid money for it and let it go for I believe £32k.

I worked with a fella that had a collection of several Lanz Bulldogs , including a few rare versions.
Worth a few quid apparently.
There's a local contractor has a vast collection of Fords and Masseys, including a full set of thousand series Fords , several County's and rare Ford variants.

What age has a tractor got to be to qualify for this?
