Will you be putting it to work as soon as conditions allow, if so we’ll look forward to seeing some pics of the plough in action.
Getting more of a rare sight to see a plough working.

Managed to keep the last defender nearly 3 months this time,got a call from salesman on Saturday asking if I wanted to swap to another new one this week for no money again.

Bought a fresh motor dealer put log book in my partner's name when he was told it needed to be in my name. When it came noticed, filled bit in for correcting details sent it back came back with my partner as previous keeper and me as new keeper. Now a two previous keeper vehicle instead of one. Week later my partner got a cheque in post from DVLA for £150 for road tax refund had to tax it again for £180 so cost me £30 to put right keeper on log book and you can swap a whole vehicle for nothing🤔🤣🤣

£140 refund on insurance from NFU to come as well as this one was cheaper than the last and I guess there will be a cheque in the post from DVLA with a tax refund 🤣👌🏻 I’ve got another due in June which I actually ordered to my spec so I’m hoping to flip this one again for nothing 🤷🏻‍♂️

What's the verdict ?
Havnt done alot with it yet but 1st impressions seen good. Ride comfort is really good, its nice and quiet and grips well. The extra gps screen is good but it also takes up alot of room so its been a struggle to mount extra control boxes for certain implements and a camera screen and cb but ive managed to get them all in yesterday.

Whilsy you are no doubt happy keep swapping vehicles for no money exchange, logically if they valued your 3 month old one same as new they would have just sold the new one to the buyer of your 'old' one. What am I not understanding?

How does that work? I see the second hand ones appear to be coming down in price as there are more available now. Hats off to you if you get a new car.

So you didn't swap for nothing?, you've actually received money to swap a 2nd hand vehicle for a new one. Are you @Hfd Cattle secret son?🤣🤣
