Solution — don’t buy John Deere.

All the other tractor manufacturers now do what John Deere does. Unless you want to buy a Chinese or Belorussian tractor

So you are saying this case will force ‘em all to allow self service ?

I’m not sure of this, so I’m just asking.

The tractors I understand, a number of different manufacturers make tractors of all sizes and power.

Do other manufacturers make the addons that Deere offers like combines, balers, etc...

A modern combine is using the same computerized systems the tractors are using.

One reason it might be easy to switch manufacturers is the cost, these massive tractors and combines cost a small fortune.

The other reason might be location, many of these large farms that require large tractors and combines are located in very rural areas where John Deere is the only dealer around for miles.
