I think it’s more an issue with the narrow old gates and the size of the fields. If you watch he has 1000 acres but the biggest fields are maybe 100-200 acres. Lots of navigating narrow lanes and tight gates built 300 years ago. You just couldn’t get one of the massive JDs we use here in the Americas into his fields or barns.
