I feel like it’s such a real show where he completely pivots in his understanding of the world. He has to deal with real struggles and in the end he calls attention to farmers struggles with cash constantly.

There was a newspaper review posted a week or two back that made it sound like the show was trying to insult farmers. (Disclaimer: Someone said the review was by someone who is essentially a professional troll.) It couldn't be farther from he truth: The core of the show is Clarkson realizing how difficult all this stuff is and how much work is involved!

And, sure, buying a ridiculously oversized tractor.

I realize they say it's oversized, but to me it didn't look that bad. It's not like he didn't utilize it power and capabilities. Plus I had no idea that Lamborghini still made tractors. I've seen an antique in person, but just didn't know it was still a thing.

I don't think they really have anything to do with Lamborghini anymore apart from the name, they are owned by a completely different company.

That makes a lot of sense.
