Some IDIOTIC John Deere executives are doing their best to RUIN the John Deere brand. And they appear to be succeeding IMHO.
If everyone would boycott John Deere for a year and not but ANY new products, I would be willing to bet every manufacturer would begin to see things in a totally different light.
It might take 2 years.
Then ask which manufacturer would like to be next.
P.S. Sometimes, I don’t like to fight “fair” I prefer fighting to win.
