       I have a friend who has been a dairy farmer most of his life and now has vineyards. His farm truck is an old Subaru outback and has been for years.Don’t tell me farmers need a Ute.

       @alpinefolk I guess it depends on the local terrain, and how worried you are about throwing, say, a dead sheep in the back...

       @vik not really. In my experience anytime you’re doing anything like that you are using a quad bike or the tractor.

       @alpinefolk  Not owning either, I wouldn't know for sure. But having driven both, I can't say either would do well on my patch and have no difficulty imagining other situations. In short, it really does matter what you're doing and where exactly you're doing it.

       @vik fair enough, I don’t know your land. In my experience dairy farming and strawberry farming we did have a small 2nd flat deck Ute. For strawberries a van would haven been better. For dairy we used the tractor for any rough terrain.

       @alpinefolk Nice little ecosystem of olives and sheep at this end.
