      @ inheritance tax on farm land. 20% of the value of farm. Land prices in the uk are crazy high (which has no benefit to a farmer when you farm it). 400 acre farm will have to pay over £1 million.
      Also taxing fertilizer imported in (we import 90% of it because they closed them down) but not taxing imported food…

    Zac is busy with one combine; I don't know how those people in a video I watched of a farmer harvesting corn were doing it. He was using a JD x9 with a 24 row header. At the speed he was moving, the cart driver could barely keep up with unloading the combine and filling the trucks. The cart held more than the trucks, so they were really moving trucks in and out of the field.

With heavy trucks the engines have years too. As far as I know you could have a ‘25 chassis and a 2013 overhauled engine. (I believe that was the year before DEF requirement). Just a thought.

    Zack, have you considered whether the C-shanks that are breaking so frequently might have a manufacturing defect? If they weren't forged correctly or heat-treated correctly they could be less rock resistant (ie made from weaker or more brittle steel) than the ones which aren't breaking. Look for mold marks to see if the broken ones are perhaps all from the same lot and/or from the same factory.
