I call bullshit until you cite evidence. Farm equipment doesn't even need to comply with road vehicle requirements. What special regulations does a farm equipment manufacturer need to comply with that don't apply to any other industrial manufacturer?

$50,100 per employee in regulatory safety and compliance costs.[0]

Up to $8k per engine unit produced in EPA regulatory fees.[1]

Between $100k and $500k per engine model variant for EPA testing and General Compliance.[2]

$100k to $200k for Transient & Steady-State Dynamometer Testing.[2]

$150k per engine variant for Useful Life Deterioration Testing.[2]
