They're simple and easy to diagnose and work on.
Today I spent half a day in the hot sun trying to figure out why the computer won't sense the pulses from the alternator on a modern combine. If the computer doesn't sense the alternator, everything shuts down. All it'll do is move and steer. There's the circuit board to check, the ECM, the alternator, relays, and the cab module. All this involves climbing around on a hot mountain of a machine.
Looking at Johndeereman's pics of mowing hay with old tractors just kind of gave me a good feeling. There's not a whole lot to go wrong and diagnosing a problem is usually quick and easy. Jim
