Called the Rural sustainability grants or something similar, 50% grants on certain things. Fairly loaded towards livestock. Eligible Arable equipment is basically vft tyres, auto steer, n sensor and some controller for driers.

What are vft tyres ?

What are vft tyres ?

very flexible tyres ( I looked it up) for tractors.

basically flotations that you run at pretty low pressure to give you 3x the footprint On the websites, they look like they’re running flat, be good 3 or 4 cleats on the ground. Apparently designed to travel at speed like that too

It's only really any good if you actually need something. Still have to pay half.

Suppliers will benefit mainly in my opinion.

Had to look that up, cost £110 per month, guy in the FW article was saving £500 per year on 1000 hr usage. Something does not add up!

What’s that ?

Something that would probably make most modern tractors unwell. It's on the list of things you can claim for.
