But the way amortisation works in a business (the practice of spreading an intangible asset's cost over that asset's useful life), if the car is really capable (which I think it is from videos I've seen) and lasts for 30 years, then surely it's a really great investment for a farm, even at £81k? The worry is will it last 30 years with all those electrics to go wrong? Also, in truth, to use as a farm run-around workhorse, wouldn't you likely choose a lower spec model, closer to £50k?

Although I do know it is not any good for use on a stock farm as it is no work truck just another gimmick trying to cash in on the past history of its long gone for farther . When I was younger if you had cut me in half it would of said land Rover now its Hi lux the old ones with out the electronics are just ultra reliable just keep going. .

Iwant to see a head to head between the new 'Defender' and Harry's series one.

Harry is probably the only one who can convince me that this lives up to the Defender name.

It's fantastic seeing this car be actually used for it's intended purpose. I'm from America and most don't even take their new Defenders offroad. All are shiny and parked at Whole Foods

Harry, I think you've passed up a terrific opportunity here. Land Rover would love it if you turned the new Defender in and told them "....it pulls the plow better than my John Deere." I haven't seen that test of the Defender on anyone else's channel. Happy New Year everyone! Looking forward to more great episodes of Harry's Farm and Harry's Garage!

Took me 14 minutes to realize this isn't Harry's Garage, and that Harry has a farm channel.

You’ll possibly end up more obsessed with this channel than the garage. The video output is less here, so you’re always chomping at the bit for a new farm video.

Yes, I think that Harry is first and foremost a farmer who has a keen interest in cars.

I saw on a 4x4 off-road youTube that for true off-roading in out of the way places, air suspension creates a risk if it fails, and basic steel springs are far more reliable. This new defender only has 18” wheels, whereas there are more off-road tyres for 16” wheels! Apparently to fit a front winch after your Defender is built, is next to impossible without damage to the plastic front. The rough & ready basic original Series or Defender Land Rovers were more adaptable to a hard life without the worry of damaging it. I’d choose a Landcruiser or Jeep Wagoner Rubicon for a robust 4x4 off-roader. Unless its only to be used on the school run where I guess most new Defenders will end up.
