[QUOTE="Rmc, post: 1708118, member: 39072"] I personally no longer buy the john deere cares deeply about the buyer or operator of there product. Actions speak louder than words. If they really understood the time sensative financial stakes of harvest. They wouldnt be pulling there "you cant fix your own tractor crap" for the opertunity to make a few bucks. Example John Deere tractor is baling hay. Derates because a fuel filter issue. Owner changes the filter but still cant get the tractor out of limp mode .why ? Because he has to contact the dealer and have a tech.come out to site to plug in his computer to take the tractor out of limp mode. The time delay could end up costing the operator $1000s of dollars profit. So how is it again that they care for those using their product. They are shooting themselves in the foot ,and have been for the last several years. My hope is that with the chip shortage ,some of this will force John Deere and otner companies to re evaluate their heavy reliance on foreign produced chips. Maybe use less chips per vehicle and bring at least some of the chip production home. Many companies made the choice to outsource chip production overseas to cut cost .Now the question they must ask is was the savings of outsourcing the chips worth the lost sales because of the shortage? Is the inventory just in time management of globally sourced components savings worth tne risk of shortages of one small component derailing the entire production . [/QUOTE]
