Jeremy Clarkson has said goodbye to his expensive tractor purchase (Picture: Prime Video)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jeremy Clarkson<\/a> was candid about his decision to sell his whopping \u00a385,000 tractor that featured in Clarkson’s Farm<\/a> season four.<\/p>\n

The 65-year-old star has been sharing the highs and lows of tending to his 1,000-acre Diddly Squat Farm through his hit Amazon Prime series for four seasons.<\/a><\/p>\n

The tough financial blows farmers can face due to poor weather<\/a>, controversial legislation, and mounting equipment expenses have been a key feature of the show – and the Grand Tour<\/a> star is not immune to the same trials and tribulations.<\/p>\n

It’s been reported that he has sold his \u00a385k Lamborghini tractor less than a year after the eye-watering purchase which made a cameo in the fourth season to show off the 48 gears and 188 buttons.<\/p>\n

After the TV personality was spotted at an auction selling the agricultural machine, one X user @headbug_inc asked: ‘You had to let the beast go? No way?! Dude, what happened?’<\/p>\n

To which Clarkson replied<\/a>: ‘I\u2019m starting to understand that when it comes to farming, you have to be sensible. Took a big financial hit on that tractor as well.’<\/p>\n

Both Clarkson and his co-star Kaleb Cooper were present at the auction on Monday, where the tractor sold.<\/p>\n

The auction house Cheffins confirmed the expensive machinery sold for \u00a370,500 after 62 bids.<\/p>\n

Diddly Squat Farm, alongside countless others, saw a huge hit during the season four finale as Clarkson reflected on how ‘2024 had been an absolute monster’ due to poor harvests with record rainfall destroying crops.<\/p>\n

During the episode, the former Top Gear presenter reiterated that he doesn’t rely on his farm for income.<\/p>\n

‘But even so, it’s pretty soul-destroying to work so hard and simply, because of the weather, make a loss,’ he added.<\/p>\n

Just moments later, the episode also added a pointed cameo from Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She has been criticised by the farming community for her plans to introduce a 20% inheritance tax on farms worth over \u00a31million<\/a>. <\/p>\n

An image of her flashes up for just a moment, and Clarkson also addressed this on X, making his disapproval clear with explicit language.<\/p>\n

Clarkson’s Farm will return for a fifth season which is already being filmed but then plans to take a break only to return if there is a ‘bloody good story.’<\/p>\n

He added in The Sunday Times: ‘Whatever happens we\u2019ll definitely take a short break as the crews are all worn out.<\/p>\n

‘We\u2019ve been filming here two or three days a week, every week, for five years. Everybody could do with a rest.’<\/p>\n

Clarkson\u2019s Farm seasons one to four are available to stream on Amazon Prime Video now.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
