Deere is fleecing farmers so badly. It’s ridiculous that they can’t fix their own equipment. In the 1950s and 1960s, farmers got a lot of mechanical knowledge from learning to fix their tractors and other vehicles, so they not only saved money, they gained practical skills they could apply to other vehicles. At the very least, they should be able to take these things to a third party, preferably locally-owned, mechanic shop to get them fixed.
I realize right to repair is important for our internet devices, but this is so much more important. This makes our food prices higher.
