Shall we have a bet for charity. Seems to be all the rage now
What I’d really like to see is something different, like a 7 or 8 litre 5 cylinder...! [emoji2]

Unfortunately I think the age of large swept volume engines are now behind us. It's more likely the next generation of 250hp tractors will be 4.0 than 8.0.

The amazing part there is numbers imported. Obviously IE farmers are making the most of their EU memebership!

I stand corrected
If you look at that report, John Deere sold the most new tractors in Ireland last year...It's only when you take used imports into consideration that they drop to third place......

Simba in green is just wrong.
And the eu will put tariffs on all your food exports , at least half the groceries here are packed in the uk . Do u want them taxed off our shelves.That'll be OK because the UK can also put huge tariffs on unfair food imports [all food imports]. If we can't do this kind of thing, what is the point of leaving the EU?

The JD figure includes the little terragaters which are registered for the road and classed as tractors.
