Nah. John Deere pulls in billions. They made record profits in 2021, record profits again last year, made record profits again this fall and they predict that they'll break their record yet again next year. Last year their CEO got $20,300,151.
They can more than afford to offer a high level of service at harvest time without ripping off their customers and screwing over everyone else as well by opposing our right to repair.
As it stands their current level of service isn't even that great. Farmers have been complaining about not being able to get parts (https://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1044504&DisplayType=nested https://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=104450...) and saying that because they're forced to get repairs from John Deere that single source for service gets overwhelmed and they can end up waiting for weeks on technicians while watching their crops rot away.
