I wonder if the crowd you are drawing is related to your location. I always see primarily tractors in eastern NC shows. Head to the mountains and it is just about all engines. The tractors in eastern NC tend to be larger models also.

I think it may be supply and demand law at work here in Eastern North Carolina. Here in Eastern North Carolina most Farms didn't get tractors until the end of WWII. Engines date mostly before WWII and what few that were purchased for use in my area were junked or are already in collector's hands. Most of my engine have come from outside of this area. Merton

I too started collecting tractors first. I soon discovered that Stationary Engines are more fun to display at shows. Engines draw crowds and start people talking, where tractors are heavy to transport to the shows and just don't excite crowds unless they are plowing,disking or belted to something.
