0:00 The £3,000 tractor question 2:57 Harry Ferguson and the handshake deal 4:29 Crate tractors versus dealer-backed machines 6:35 What owners find inside 10:43 The border, Stage V and DVLA 12:29 Where the price gap really goes 16:34 Orphan tractors and right to repair 20:07 Who should buy one I investigate what sits behind the huge price gap between a £3,000 Chinese wholesale tractor and a dealer-backed compact tractor in Britain. I compare engines, gearboxes, hydraulics, fluids, fittings, emissions approval, import costs, warranties and parts support. I also follow the story from Harry Ferguson and the Ford handshake deal to modern tractors built from parts sourced across several countries. The key question is not simply where a tractor was made, but who will stand behind it when something breaks. Finally, I explain who might genuinely benefit from a crate or flat-pack tractor, who should avoid one, and the checks I would make before paying for any machine, including Stage V approval, DVLA paperwork, parts availability and a written warranty.
