Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson’s formerTop Gear co-star, is one of many famous faces to appear in the newest episodes of Clarkson’s Farm.

Prime have released episodes five and six of the show’s new series, focused predominantly on Clarkson’s journey to opening a new pub.

This would ultimately become the Farmer’s Dog pub, which has been open for just under a year.

When many saw that Hammond and Clarkson would be reuniting on the show, it was a bizarre sight, as the pair, alongside The Grand Tour co-host James May, dissolved their production company next year.

While Clarkson has confirmed they still see each other and are friends, many were surprised to see two of the trio reunite on the show.

Now, however, with the release of the new episodes, it has been revealed why Hammond appeared on Clarkson’s Farm.

The reunion all goes back to one aspect of Clarkson’s pub that is arguably the most noticeable thing when you walk in.

The presenter has a tractor hanging from the ceiling in his pub and decides that he wants to get it chromed (for some reason).

Clarkson ends up contacting Richard Hammond, who has a car restoration business in Hertfordshire called The Smallest Cog.

He goes to Hammond looking to have work done on the tractor so it can be hung from the ceiling, aiming to get it under 750kg so it doesn’t pull the roof down. In addition to this, he wants to get the tractor chromed.

Clarkson is shocked when his former co-host informs him that chroming the tractor will set him back £20,000, asking him to ‘be sensible’.

He says: “£20,000?! To chrome it? What? I could have done it! £20,000 to paint a tractor.”

Hammond replies, saying: “The point is, your bank balance is taking a beating. Let's keep it going! Why give up? Then it'll have strength and it'll be resistant. Now it's floppy and weak."

After an employee confirms it is £3,000 per litre of chrome paint, Clarkson replies saying: “Why didn't you tell me off before I set off? That it was going to be more than the GDP of most European countries.

“If this was a normal farmer, you wouldn't be saying £20,000.”

His form Grand Tour pal, however, points out that a normal farmer would not be chroming a tractor, jokingly calling Clarkson a ‘pr*ck’.

Ultimately, later in the episode, Clarkson says via voiceover: “Since we were only five weeks from opening, I was forced to agree to Hammond’s terms."

Clarkson’s Farm is available to watch on Prime Video now.
