The mandate of all engineers working for corporations is to design fluff , cheaply with a designed self destruct timeline . Automotive is 7 years . Compact tractors is 10 years and lawn mower are 5 years now . Sad but true .
Yep, pretty sad, I was at the collection site a couple weeks ago, three lawn tractors sitting on the edge of the scap pile, one probably fifteen year old MTD, other two bookend Craftsmans, definitely well less than 10yrs old, looked "new". :40: I just have a hard time with this "throw away" mentality. :45:
