I guess the question is this: Are there or are there not a higher number of these New Holland models that experience a very similar failure (breaking in half) compared to similar tractors from other manufacturers? I'm not making a statement, just asking the question.
Whether the individual cases were the result of misuse is irrelevant IMO. All other things being equal, I'm sure the same precentage of owners of other tractor brands misuse their machines in the same way, so the failure rate should be comparable, unless there are factors that I'm unaware of.
What caught my attention was not that there were people out there who had problems with a tractor. What caught my attention was the number of apparent first hand reports of failures that were the same type of failure. That looks like a design flaw unless it's a disinformation campaign.
