Because parts are readily available, if expensive. When the snow is coming and you have a thousand acres left to harvest, you want that part right fucking now. And contrary to what everyone here “knows”, you can fix pretty much anything that doesn’t directly interface with the ECM yourself. I have 10,000 page repair manuals that Deere supplies that details, step by step, how to fix nearly anything on their equipment. I’ve never seen manuals 1/10th as good on CNH equipment.
