I think its become a way of life, for whatever reason, its not as common as it may have been.
One of the things that stood out to me years ago, was when our old barn and house (no excuse, but worked out of town) became a problem. Neighbor ignited the situation with the town, instead of first, coming to us to discuss it like you should with any problem or concern, I did not disagree about the situation, but it could have easily been resolved and avoided the fiasco with the town whom we beat in court fair and square.
Common sense would tell you, go and talk with the people, if after that you determine its untenable, ok.... take it to the next level, same people broke in, stole things, they also dumped all their garbage in an old van body truck, so I classify that kind a face value, people seem to like to be jerks.
I enjoy meeting people when I buy things from ads on CL, been pleasant so far for many years. Same mentality, talk with people, make a fair deal on something, and leave with a smile. I also keep in contact with neighbors about things regarding the land, etc. so it does not become like the above. We live in a dis-associative society it seems, and it shows.
With equipment as you have mentioned, some just can't come to an agreement, like what you describe, seems they all bought into it at one point in time, and its worked all these years. It would seem cost effective in some situations.
People and the complexities of the human race, don't think I'll ever understand the "cut throat" mentality when it comes to important matters.
