    Are you testing my knowledge or are you just ignorant? Almost all companies involved in manufacturing have been making items more disposable or harder to repair for years (see phone, cars, computers, TV’s and almost everything else you can buy) to encourage people to buy new and bring the profits back to base.

    A farm equipment company can’t afford to be known for disposable equipment. Instead, they tried to make it impossible to work on the equipment without special computer equipment, so you’d have to book a technician to do something as simple as an oil change.
