Here on the East Coast, the scrapper has been getting more trucks than the collectors. The end of the home equity ATM has really hurt us here. As for real antique plows, etc., the last auction I attended with lots of antique farm equipment, most of it went to the scrapper. The owner was buying back turn of the century Allis Chalmers plows, tractors, and antique truck parts to keep them from getting put in the dump truck the scrapper conveniently brought along. It's a sad state, but unfortunately, the scrap man is willing to pay more than the average collector.
Things like the M135/M211 will be very rare at some point.
