[QUOTE="jltrent, post: 1621209, member: 21075"] Farmers Fight John Deere Over Who Gets to Fix an $800,000 Tractor The right-to-repair movement has come to the heartland, where some farmers are demanding access to the software that runs their equipment. This article takes a few minutes to read but is well worth the time. I see two problems here; number one issue to me is Government interference in emissions forcing the machine to shut down if a fault is detected coupled with the unholy alliance of big bucks business with elected masters essentially turning the "owner" in to a glorified renter of the equipment. If you buy it you should own it. If you want to run it to the redline and beyond that is your business and none of Deere's or Gubmint's. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-03-05/farmers-fight-john-deere-over-who-gets-to-fix-an-800-000-tractor [/QUOTE]
