Tractor Troubles: Dealers and Drivers Face Challenges
Every few months, I am approached by a frustrated livestock farmer questioning why expensive tractors are featured on the front cover. The reason is simple – showcasing tractors leads to higher sales compared to livestock or people. This week’s magazine caters to diesel enthusiasts with a preview of Kioti’s new flagship model, an in-depth look at Deutz-Fahr, and a feature on a Dorset dairy farm maintaining their older New Hollands. Despite a sluggish tractor sales market, now might be a good time to find bargains. The debate on whether children should be allowed in tractor cabs continues, with safety concerns being a priority. The issue remains contentious with no clear solution in sight.
