Most of the new tractors that are "broke down" are functioning perfectly mechanically but are electronically broke down. (To me that is an artificial breakdown)
Most of those issues can't be fixed or even diagnosed by even the most mechanically inclined farmers. That means a service call. Which is fine under warranty, but when that tractor is 25 years old and in the budget of a smaller operation, the repairs could likely be unaffordable.
