My cousin has a fairly large dairy farm in northern VT. He buys a tractor approx. every ten years, almost always used. He and his mechanic do almost all repair work in his own shop. The last tractor he bought was new and he bought it because it was non electronic, facilitating repair in his own shop. This tractor is NH, and probably Fiat built.

Electronics changes that. Many of us have seen first hand that the dealers are consolidating with smaller ones going out and larger ones getting larger with multiple locations, eliminating competition, and displaying desire to stay away from older stuff and penalizing the owners with higher prices and poorer quality work.
