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.
Ive seen those electrical gremlins, most farmers just "learn to live with it". Its very frustrating to have no heat in below freezing weather because of the climate control not working. Same for no A/C in summer for no apparent reason.
Kind of wish they would go back to when they had good A/C, cabs and very light on the electronics. |
