You might get a little feedback from here back thru dealers but as far as big corp watching this site I doubt it.
Ive been around construction equipment of many brands for 30 years. Feedback even we as dealers send or convey directly back to manufacturers Ive rarely seen implemented. "Most" engineers imo seen to think they know better how to design or build things which is absolute hogwash. Anyone who designs something should have to use that product and work on that product, or get a lot of feedback from real world users. What looks good on paper or the bottom line isnt always best for the consumer.
Just as someone else posted about having to remove a tire every time backhoe on and off. You make a engineer do that 3 or times out in the field and I guarantee ya he will find a way to make it where thats not a issue.
ALL manufacturers should send out a owner survey 1 yr after the sale, 3 yrs after the sale, and 5 yrs after the sale. Not 30 days after the sale, and not just with ck boxes of 1-10 to rate. They need a large comments section for suggested improvements, what you would like to see etc.
