They start to crack and can be replaced easily, BUT the dealerships and factories quit selling those parts after about 10 years. Since this problem is very common, good luck finding one that's better than what you have in a salvage yard! You can find them on eBay for $250-300, but those, too, are brittle. I ordered one, and it arrived cracked. I'm hoping to able to patch it up and reinforce the whole thing with a few layers of fiberglass and carbon fiber cloth with the money that was returned to me.

Dear Scotty, I love your vids, and you are the best. Am your great fan. But as to putting the wipers up before they freeze, I have to make a correction, based on my 23 years automotive experience in cold climate. You better not get the habit of putting your wipers up, for two reasons: 1) when wipers are up, their springs (which are there to press them against the windshield) become overstretched, and become much weaker over time. So soon you will notice that your wipers can no more clean your windshield properly, due to decreased spring tension / pressure. Those small springs however, on all vehicles I know, cannot be obtained under a separate part number, so you will have to purchase complete wiper arms instead, and they are not always cheap; 2) if you put your wipers up often enough, like every winter day, so when returning them into their working position afterwards, statistically you will sooner or later accidentally release / drop them, and one of those times they will, when dropped, hit the windshield hard / unluckily enough to eventually crack the windshield. Ive seen that happen multiple times in our neighborhood. Needless to say how expensive windshield replacement can be. So better just wait a little longer for the windshield with frozen wipers on it to properly defrost.

Hi Scotty, About your winter windshield wiper tip. I have heard that by having them off your windshield, you weaken the springs that keep the wiper tight to your glass. as well if someone hits the wipers in the upright position they could come down on your windshield hard enough to break or crack it. Full disclosure, i have my car in our garage so i don't have this problem

[@jaydenc27]

I am a huge Deere fan that does custom farming my family is currently running 8 of them from 210 horsepower to 570 mostly new leases that are under warranty but I completely see both sides of this. As a custom farmer we are the backup for when the farmer breaks down so we cannot be down at all which makes it very hard having to rely on the dealerships as bad as some of them are because 90% of the issues the new tractors have is all in the computers so even if farmers could repair it themselves most of them wouldn’t know how to or be able to. Most of our equipment being under warranty we cannot fix most things on it as the dealership is obligated too which works good but for the older ones it takes forever for them because they don’t have to fix them. That being said if Right To Repair passed it would help out lots of other farmers but that would put a lot of liability and risk on Deere because the way it is setup now if the software is messed up that’s fully in Deere so letting farmers repair themselves would be huge risk as many would not correctly fix it making Deere be responsible if something goes wrong due to the incorrect fix. I definitely think this needs to be fixed but don’t think Deere purposely did it to hurt the farmer I think it’s due to how complex the software and systems are it would blow up on them

[@drbichat5229]

The main problem with frozen wipers is that the wiper will move leaving pieces of rubber or the entire insert on your windshield

It can cost $1,000 just to haul a John Deere combine to the JD stealership and back on a semi, not including the repair costs.

[@nicholasbrown7068]

That's the cost to owning large equipment, you think $1,000 is bad to move a combine one way. Get into heavy construction and see what it costs to float excavators, dozers, rock trucks, crushers etc, same goes for forestry.

[@ikevorisek1517]

There's these vehicles called service trucks. The technician can get inside it and pull a lever and push a pedal. That vehicle can then GO TO the machine in the field. Much less expensive than hauling it back to the shop. When was the last time you're Toyota dealer said "Yeah, we'll be right out to lay in YOUR driveway". Reading these comments and watching his video makes me understand how little the public knows how agriculture even works in today's age.

[@ikevorisek1517]

@@nicholasbrown7068 That guy has no clue. $1000 was just a random number he tossed out because it sounds expensive. The new equipment has cellular connected diagnostics and can often be diagnosed remotely. These experts probably all live in NYC with AOC and want to lecture farmers about how cows work.

[@zachbruett7224]

I work on john Deere equipment all the time Deere's equipment and service are second to none in my opinion. I have never had a problem I couldn't fix myself and the dealer is always happy to help and will almost always do simple diagnostics for free. if only Chevrolet treated its customers half as well as Deere dose.

I bought a used JD self propeled push mower... So far its a great little mower. The only problem i have with it is that when you pull it back the rear wheels want to lock.. But a gentile push forward of about 2-3" releases them and then they roll normal

[@human1513]

Toyotas have a dedicated heating grid in the lower area of the windshield. Just push the button to switch it on. It will melt any ice and snow where the wipers are seated in a minute. It is like the electric defrost grid in a rear window.

[@suggesttwo]

Farmers: vote with your money. The engine and transmission only need 1-one PCM. Boards can be resoldered. Ask for a flash drive with all the manuels with the machine and a port adapter that connects to the the PCM to a laptop or smartphone with software to scan codes. Condition of sale. Or call another manufacturer.

[@northdakotaham1752]

Or just forget about buying the newer, computerized tractors and rebuild an older tractor. Ditch autosteer and learn how to drive a tractor again.

[@suggesttwo]

@@northdakotaham1752 If you have a dead circuit board take it out of the box and resolder all the connections. One of the most common faults on a board is a cold solder joint that worked when tested like a closed light switch then corroded and opened. Also look for corroded connector contacts. All sensors and actuators. Even unplugging and replugging connectors several times can wipe the oxydization off the tin plating. Pins are green spray them clean.

Flipping wiper blades up is not smart if you leave them up overnight. Windy storms can cause the wiper blades to hit the windshield (possibly cracking the glass). Best to warm up the car and remove any ice & snow with a brush around the wipers.

I have seen John Deere Tractors brought into the United States as imports aboard Hyundai Glovis and Wallenius Walhelmsen Line Roll On Roll Off Ships to the Port of Brunswick, Georgia Colonels Island Terminal and to the Port of Jacksonville, Florida too. So I find it crazy there's American Tractors being Imported from the Ports of Hamburg and Bremerhaven, Germany to the United States!

John Deere knows there's enough commercial farms to support their company, and aren't tremendously concerned with middle Americas sales dropping a few percentage points.
