Nothing worse than fanboys who have never driven/experienced certain makes. When kubota released their 7000 series people instantly dismissed them but those that tried them quite often purchased them 🤷‍♂️

I get where you are coming from. What is really irritating is when a poster asks what tractor he should buy and multiple posters clearly explain that he should buy a Valtra (the best tractor of all time) and then that same poster then goes an buys a New Holland because it's cheaper. I mean Valtra do make cheaper tractors as well.

Would you not be that fanboy? That tells them to buy a valtra. Despite no experience of driving or owning one.

Seems to me these farmers that have managed to get big on YouTube are merely now using the machinery dealers for free demo and loans of machinery and the bigger the better. And the machinery dealers are using them as free advertising. That part of it has now started putting me off watching their videos as I am more I terested in how they do things and why they do them really. Not bothered about them riding around for fun in the biggest machines they can find. They never really do a proper review of the gear, unless it's a colour they don't usually run and then pick faults with (never heard the millennial farmer say a bad word about Deere, but class/cat he did, or welker say a bad word about case etc etc). They just all come across as playboys now because they've 'made it' on YouTube.
I heard from a reliable source Tom Pemberton had his case on 'demo' but wasn't allowed to say anything bad about it!

Of course Tom's Case was on demo, he didn't try to hide it did he?
Think his new mower is too and I'm guessing he had some help with the new tyres on the Hurlimann?
Millennial Farmer gets loads of deals too, he makes money off social media, that's why his wife is basically his agent and editor.

Mike's is a bit more casual and he does have to pay for some demo's and he does have a patreon account.
They may start it for fun but it ends up very time consuming, so they should make something from it. It's still better than TV.

And poor old Richard Cornock (The Funky Farmer) gets to run around on his old McCormicks.

Whilst we're on about you tubers, anyone know what sort of area larson farms work over? Never heard them talk about it
South West Minnesota (south of Morris, west of Kensington) about an hour or so from Zach I believe they are related to Randy (Master Pipe Layer) if I remember the fooling around with a civil war explosive canon ball story correctly. As well as the banter on Instagram when they have been putting drainage in next door to their farm.
