I used to watch him - but all he is after is views to buy more toys. His views no longer count....in my eyes.
You have missed nothing.
Oh I don’t know.
Isn't it amazing how non essential workers...entertainers...earn more than those doing real jobs.
Having grown up on an east coast US farm, it fascinates me that any of these trucks are considered farm implements in the UK. I get the impression land ownership on that island is such that everyone is a "gentleman farmer", wearing wool turtleneck sweaters, tweed jackets, and complaining about needing more subsidies while leaning on their range rover. I can't think of one thing on our farm, a base f150 8' bed 4x4 couldn't do 2x as well for 1/2 the out the door price. I mean, I think it was Harrys Farm I was watching and laughing my ass off, as he was discussing the design difficulties of fitting tools like shovels and hand hoes into the back of new d90, and how to carry a fence post in it... like WTF???? He actaully looked at that thing, and thought, WOW, what a great rig for a farm!!! What a riot! When youre on a farm you put 4000 pounds of posts in a 2000 payload truck so as to not waste time making two trips, and when youre done you toss the shovel 30' into the bed. The trucks looks 30years old in 3 months, but amazingly, its still being used 30 years later. The only SUV's seen, were Suburbans if you had 6 kids, or IFF you were one of those that had money for your daughter to be in "dressage", as your wife was a Doctor.
The problem here would be when you tried to pop down to the village in the F250.. You saw that bit when he was driving the combine through the village, the F250 would be similar!Having grown up on an east coast US farm, it fascinates me that any of these trucks are considered farm implements in the UK.

I love Clarksons Farm, but I smile watching the Range rover pull little carts around. I just cant work out the business ROI on one of these for a dude with 125 acres when 50g gets an f250 crew 8' bed. It's litteraly "foriegn" to me.
Definitely a different scale - most US farmers and ranchers would say “that ain’t a trailer and that ain’t a truck.” Even the combine is a baby combine. But I don’t see trying to navigate a Chevy 3500HD dually around in the UK. My wife was even scared to drive a BMW 5-series in Ireland.Having grown up on an east coast US farm, it fascinates me that any of these trucks are considered farm implements in the UK.
