Farmers earn more from YouTube than their crops

2024 is going to be a big year for one youtuber, 2 machines to service, 1 to wash. Wants a fastrac to join the fleet, and then a big meet up at Lamma with one lonely farmer and @Mucker4890
Heard the meet up was actually @Mucker4890 idea. He’s also wanting to meet up with George Saunders, probably so he can talk Fastracs since he wants one to sit on the cattle trailer to save taking the 6930 off the muck trailer, because why spend 5 minutes unhitching a trailer when you can spend £100k on another tractor?! 🤣
 
Didn't watch the episodes with the quadtrac, don't care. Or any of the new loan equipment for that matter. I like when someone tries out new machines but not for the sake of it, that's just an advertisement.
And why should it not be an advertisement ?
It gives content to the viewer and a platform to the manufacturer.
You are not forced to buy anything and most people I'm sure have enough about them to decide whether they want to find out more or not.

I haven't said it shouldn't. They can do what they want and I certainly don't hold it against them, I just don't care for it.
Somethings I like, somethings I don't and I couldn't tell you why. I liked your review of a skidsteer but I didn't care for the big new holland. Go figure :unsure:.
By the way, will there be part two of the new holland grape thingy? Really liked it but I missed looking in the cab.

To be honest I kind of prefer their Big Bid videos and home built sprayer but I can understand why they do not just from the sponsorship side but also the not adding a mass of hours to their own equipment. But watching the Big Buds work seems more special than having near enough the same run through of a new machine as so many other videos when I want to watch those kind of videos I tend to go for BTP, Farmhand Mike, Messicks and Mucker/Torquing Point unless it is a unique machine or are doing an honest pros and cons video on a machine they have purchased.

Otherwise I trust them about as much as the, "Look at this rusted solid automatic rifle now let me spray out new wonder spray on it and bang the rust is gone and it looks like new and fires like new watch me shred the target and not my face."

YouTube stick enough of those ads in the middle of the videos themselves
