At the beginning the show states the guy that runs the farm retired so Clarkson decided to run it himself. I'm not sure why he had to buy a new tractor and implements if the farm was already operational. If the retired guy owned the equipment, he could have just sold it all to Clarkson
Similar thing happened with our farm in the Mississippi Delta. The farmer that managed it worked thousands of acres besides ours and had much bigger equipment than was economical for just our place. There was no way we could afford to buy his equipment when he retired, and we didn't have the facilities for housing all of it. You're talking about millions of dollars of equipment.
