Tyres might be replaced twice over its life (e.g. $1,250 x 4 tyres x 2 sets = $10,000) plus $10,000 of repairs (total R&M = $30,000).</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\"></td><td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td><td class=\"diff-addedline\"><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">==== Implement Costs ====</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\"></td><td class=\"diff-marker\" data-marker=\"+\"></td><td class=\"diff-addedline\"><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Implement information can be entered once the Tractor information has been added.
