Just had a passing thought ....
can you imagine a North Yorkshire farmer [the type whom I frequent with on my Ranger duty] driving a D4 ?
...... neither can I
They do like my D3 though!  I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Must be huge to drive so many to suicide, bankruptcy, divorce etc every year. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Where I store my caravan, the farmer has just taken delivery of a new D4 XS, upgraded from his FL2....
He also has 3 nissan navara's which he says are a lot better than the defender.....
He also has 2 x 09 plate Fendt's.......
no such thing as a poor farmer indeed !! D4 HSE....Probably, but not quite decided yet.

What do you expect them to farm with a horse and cart??? I've never heard such piffle do you comment on the engineering firm that spends £500K on the latest piece of cnc machinery  If farmers aren't upgrading machinery in the good times (ie now) when are they going to do it
If you want to see a poor farmer I suggest you go look at hill farmers, plenty there. DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
DS3 TDV6 HSE- Silver with Alpaca (new one) Gone
D4 HSE Lux - Montalcino Red Gone
