As a equipment mechanic who has worked on evetything from 50 year old machiens to ones made only three or four years ago, all I can say is you hit the nail on the head. A post below talks about learning to live with it. While that's true right now, we also need to let our government, the dealers, and everyone else involved that we are tired of all the BS, and that they need to simplify. The problem is all the bells and whistles are great, and 'everyone' loves bells and whistles......until the bells quit ringing, and the whistles stop tooting....Then 'everyone' raises all sorts of he11 and fusses about how all of the things that they thought they wanted, that makes their life so cushy, is now costing them out the a$$ to repair between parts, labor, downtime, etc, etc, etc.
In the end people are going to have to learn to decide which they want more. Do they want a machine that's simple and reliable, or one that does everything from keeping their butt warm to blowing a cool breeze on them while isolating them completely from evething outside, and beyond that doing pretty much everything but wiping their a$$. Once they decide that and let the Mfgs, and our governmental nannys know that we ruleand this is what we want, things just might start to turn around. Until that time.......we just have to contiune to live with all of the overly engineered, overly complex designs being engineered into equipment to do even the most simple tasks such as turning on a light........It's gotten to te point tha Rube Goldburg's zany designs have nothing on the designs of eqipment today.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
