John Deere expects farmers to let their equipment sit idle for days waiting for a JD technician to show up to make minor repairs.
John Deere’s predatory repair practices have pissed off farmers so The farmers are buying competitive products and John Deere is now getting what they deserve.
Deere must have hired the guy that made the McDonald’s shake machines.
Every farmer I know repairs his own...
#2 I am watching ‘Larson Farms’ on youtube. They have this year dug a foundation themselves for a large grain bin for the concrete guys and help pour concrete between grain bins and also replace some 5 long fan blades inside a combine and later discover a fan housing with a large hole in it. They and in other farm videos others do many repairs themselves because they are running a multi million dollar business and cannot wait.
They had to have John Deere tech come out to the field when one of their combines blew an engine. Chunks of metal. Just 360 hours on it. It took 4 days before they could use it again.
