I think that the old equipment was solider, more iron. Also there is too much electronics on the new stuff, finicky and expensive black boxes you can't fix or even troubleshoot without a lot of computer equipment and that go down with no warning. As for more iron, a 55 Horse Deere of 21 years ago was almost 3000 lbs heavier than the same equipped and HP Deere of today. and I am sure the same comparison holds for other makes. I don't think the iron of today is that much better metallurgically than 20 years ago. They shave it closer in the engineering thus make it lighter. Some thngs are better like cars in that 100,000 to 200,000 miles is routine whereas a few decades ago it made news if a car made it that far.
