    Yup, the problem is all of these companies learned that quality actually cost them profits. Vehicles dealerships make more off of maintenance than they do sales (not counting warranty/ recalls), so they want you to have no choice. Even phones used to be fairly easily repaired, but people were replacing components, instead of buying the newest gadget. The only thing I dislike about the video is that they singled out Deer, when International, New Holland, etc... are just as guilty.

    Well.

    Am still stuck, held hostage, at Nacogdoches.
    41 hours and counting.
    They’re going to “pay for all the time you have to wait.”
    But you can leave your trailer, and we’ll unload you at our earliest convenience.

    I may need to go get a mailbox to keep in truck on a portable stand.

    I sat 94 hours in a little podunk town in the communist state, not a record I'm sure but got good detention pay to sit around. There was 5 of us plus beer and steaks on the barbie.
