The accountants are running the buisnesses these days "not the engineeres" with only short term profits in mind.

Environmentaly this is also wrong and short sited.Every time you build a totaly new product you have to cast,forge or fabricate and machine new steel and iron.It takes alot of electricity coal and iron ore etc.etc. along with alot of pollution to build a new item from scratch each time.

Other than updates to engines for pollution and fuel efficientcy ,maybe some transmission, hydraulic updates. A tractor or combine should be totaly rebuildable for 30 to 40 years. This would be a way to build any product. But this would only earned them slow dollars. If companies started working this way they would generation to generations of loyal customers. But the short term fast buck is all there interested in.

Look at heavy industrial machinery. Much of it is retooled from year to year. Some as old as the secound world war and still usefull and efficient.But we still live in a disposable sociaty.
