In this case, John Deere has skated by with incredibly exploitative business practices for years. Their insular repair scheme has led to an over-hiring of official licensed support engineers that shouldn't persist in a competitive market.

These are salaried people that are more or less employed as part of a scheme to prevent price-competitive repair from existing, not mom-and-pop wholesalers fixing a radiator.
