Spare a thought for the poor farmers that have been denighed the ability to work on their own tractors. John Deere and others, have locked the tractors into electronic management which can only be accessed by their dealer service people. Apparently, there is now hacked software available that is allowing farmers to take back some basic repairs. Sound familiar, it seems they have been watching the auto industry lock out owners and independent mechanics:
