    It will take a fair few improvements before I look at one for the farm.

    That said, I've had an electric tuatara side by side for the last 18 months and rate it highly for what I do with it (calf rearing, towing a calf trailer and calfateria)
    The Army was assessing them for movement around rear logistic bases, not for tactical employment. That its even been looked at in a military environment is simply Wokeness in action. Enemy action does not take account of the opposition's charge times

    And the Tuatara. Jeeze thats an expensive exercise. Well over 30 grand. I quizzed the salesman at The Sika show regarding wading depth: Axle depth, not even wheel diameter depth.
    Carbine and Rich007 like this.
