You seem to suffer from a confusion between trattor and trotter, perhaps some of the money you spent on your expensive and unreliable and undurable Freeloader would have been better spent on education? I only ask.
Mmmmm nice and warm, dry and comfy in my trattor

I had a similar thought. I thought you were confused by thinking I meant yer wife when I mentioned pigs, and pigs trotter when I said tratter. Oh well.
I is an honoray tratterer as I have driven tratters previously, as we owned them in the family. Comfortable, reliable and dry this is not.

I find your view hard to understand, mine is warm, dry and comfortable and in the 10 years I have had it, has proved ultra reliable, only failing to get me home twice, your Freeloader would have been destroyed by now and no doubt have let me down more often
Gaylander = Hippo
Gaylanderer = Hippo driver
Gaylandering = Putting the doors back on a gaylander
Hippo = Gaylander

Why on earth would you think that?
Defender 10 years only not got me home twice
Freeloader 2 years, 2 breakdowns
Both Warm and dry, Freeloader heater takes ages to heat up, Defender is quicker
Uphill acceleration is the same, not tested on flat
Freeloader is insufficiently damped, which is noticeable on braking Handling round corners is comparable
Freeloader has a number of annoying and expensive faults to fix, window electrics, rear door handle prone to brittleness, intermitent fault with heater blower, beneath nice paintwork it rusts, which thankfully most of the Defender is immune to
Towing capacity of Freeloader is limited as is carrying capacity
Off road Defender is unquestionably better.
Freeloader is a more comfortable ride on road if you don't mind feeling sea sick as it wallows around like some yanky bloat motor

Told yer. Complete opposite. Tratters with heaters, acceleration, no rust, immune to rust... Yer don't mention weak points like the lay shaft, no suspension... And yer don't even have a pig anorl. That mean yer not even a propper tratterer.
