Anyone considering their next tractor purchase faces a tough decision. Mouth-wateringly glossy brochures boasting ofincreased performance, reduced fuel use and superior operator comfort mean it's almost as hard as finding a potential wife. After all, you're probably going to spend more time with it. So, with all manufacturers promising the same things, how are you supposed to decide? Devon contractor Luke Furse has taken what may seem a drastic approach - buying four tractors, each from a different manufacturer, to establish which offers the most comprehensive backup, the lowest fuel use and running costs and the best reliability. All for three years.
