Great question.

In the good old days, you bought a tractor that lasted 40 years with minimal maintenance. While you were a happy customer, you were a customer only once. So the marketing/accounting morons developed a concept called "planned obsolesence" (late 60's, early 70's). In other words, nearly everything made today is designed to have a limited service life; tractors, trucks, any of their components, etc. People have different levels of tolerance for downtime and repair costs. Most know about planned obsolesence and are very uncomfortable keeping a unit beyond that time. So they buy new... exactly what the marketing/accounting morons envisioned.
