    Just get new ones every 2 years then repairs are covered under warrantee.
    Leave the amateur backyard mechanic repairs to the hobby farmers that can’t afford the progressive advanced technology.
    Downtime at seeding and harvest can make or break a farm. Consider the costs of not turning a wheel for 2 days in prime time. Tens of thousands of dollars of productivity lost.

        If a farmer ends up having to re seed 45% of the acres on May 29, they better have good equipment and warrantee support phone number on speed dial.

          Just build them like they used to but with auto steer. A simple tractor with lots of power a quiet clean cab. Thinking back to 1150s tigers and buds. Used to be able to do a inframe on one of these for less than Buying a muffler for a new one. Only thing they might smoke a bit Bernie can’t have it both ways.
