But small farm can't go out and buy big gear like this. My newest tractor is from 90s .
I will never go newer than this because of way everything is made with to much crap on them that I can't fix or afford to pay someone else to fix.
It used to be if you wanted to start some kind of business and it could be anything from a farm or trucking business. If you were really good at building and fixing your equipment and if determined enough you could make a go of it if you did everything yourself.
Now the way stuff is made you pretty much need everything to be new and it takes deep pockets to make new equipment pay off if you are trying to get something established. You can't afford to let new equipment sit. I dont see much of a future for upstarts. Basically everything I did in my lifetime all impossible now.
I'm surprised people dont start saving up waste motor oil in 5 gallon buckets. When your furnace goes in future maybe your next furnace will burn waste oil even if you have to build it yourself I'm also surprised more people are not set up for black diesel and start burning that as well instead of regular taxed diesel.

First off, I think there is only one tractor available right now with over 700 hp, the Steiger 715 quad track, isn't it pretty, putting out 715 hp with a 16L diesel:
Secondly, it definitely is Stage V emissions compliant and uses DEF (or has a 85 g DEF tank).
