Farmer here as well. We use our truck. A lot. It's the only vehicle we have and it's 16 years old. It badly needs replacing but instead we keep repairing because of the extreme cost of a new one. It's way beyond our reach and we won't go into debt for it. Canada (where we live) just passed a bill that all new vehicles will be electric by 2035. That's going to fuck us even further.
Yeah it sucks, both our trucks are 20+ now, one is a 2003 and other is a 95. The prices for trucks are insane now. It's a tool, not a fashion symbol.
