I hate that Deere is singularly picked on, here. Other vehicle manufacturers have followed in John Deere's footsteps with this, and no one cites those manufacturers' actions; only John Deere.
I guess it's because they were first?
- noelsusman 7y agoPeople like farmers, and John Deere is the closest to having a monopoly in their industry.

- naikrovek 7y agoJohn Deere was hit pretty hard immediately, and continues to be; it doesn't seem to have been a factor preventing other manufacturers who decided to follow in Deere's footsteps on this matter. Nails can't receive messages from hammers, neither literally nor figuratively, apparently.
- magduf 7y agoDo you have any actual examples showing how Deere's competitors are as bad? No, "other vehicle manufacturers" don't count; this whole thing started because farmers couldn't get their machinery working and harvest crops on time, so Mercedes or BMW doing something similar is irrelevant since they don't make farm equipment.
