Deere has been utter garbage for a while. Any piece of equipment they made (until recently) had software preventing replacement parts from being installed without a verified tech from their company (for whom you had to pay travel expenses for as well) turning what could have been a $20 home repair job into a decision to forgo a harvest or enjoy your farm going into debt.

Right, I know nothing about tractors and didn't hear about the LGBTQ+ until this post, but even I know John Deere has been fucking over their customers with anti-right-to-repair shit for a while.

Cool. So they won't ever get money from me.

Buying a lot of tractors these days?

I live on a farm, so...at times, yes.
