The Internet | Big Ben - 5/6/2016 15:31 The Pretender - 5/6/2016 05:36 There are plenty of people on here changing the oil at least twice as often as it need changing. There are others riding to the coffee shop in a 400hp V8 pickup and you are complaining about using a couple of $ worth of urea each day compared to hundreds in diesel? I don't do either of those things and I don't see why it matters if someone else does. Wasted expenses need to be cut where ever possible to stay competitive. Like you indicated in an earlier reply, all tractors put exhaust into the same atmosphere. In places like Russia and Uruguay, farmers are using brand new tier 2 tractors with all the worthwhile electronics that promote longevity and efficiency, and without wasted expenses for emissions compliance. Our own government is giving those farmers an advantage, at our expense. Some of us would still rather compete the old fashioned way as opposed resigning to the fact that a firm attachment to the government tit is what keeps the farm going, like most Europeans. When those countries become more prosperous, their citizens will demand cleaner air, which is what the regulations are there for. There are very few diesel cars in the USA mainly because most of them won't meet your very strict laws on diesel emissions. In the UK we are swamped with diesel cars (mainly down the the favorable way they are taxed), however there is the beginning of a backlash because the air quality is cities and near busy roads is quite poor, largely due to diesel emissions. Why do you think farmers should be exempt from emission laws? |
