This issue is massive, with repercussions that affect the bottom lines of farmers everywhere. Farming is really a game of timing everything. You have a very narrow window to properly do each task, whether it is seeding, spraying, or harvesting; if you are outside of the ideal window it will hurt your profits. By needing to wait for "techs" to come out and reset your computer or make a minor fix that 10 years ago you could do yourself the cost is in the thousands. I don't know any farmers that support John deere on this issue.

[@corbinhill479]

Hey James, fun tidbit real quick. As a farmer in south Alabama, there’s a big movement from the smaller farmers, those that don’t have 50,000 acres in Nebraska, to buy older tractors. We run 13 total in our operation and the newest being a 1992 Case Magnum. The “Right to Repair” battle has caused farmers to stray away from newer and often times safer equipment for things they can repair without going bankrupt. Even Deere’s more “every man” oriented tractors are still pushing $80,000 by the time your done paying interest.

[@tupetsi430]

I was actually thinking about this as well. Welker Farms for example use the old Big Buds. Has there been any price change on the used tractoes market?

[@hunteder6423]

I definitely don't have 50,000 acres but in Nebraska as far as us ranchers go it's the same. All the tractors we work don't have canopies and most have no fan covers. The huge majority are from the 70s to 50s in terms of manufacturing years.

[@bajanspx]

John Deere is still making new non computerized tractors out of Mexico and India. Probably not exporting to the US tho. Available to 3rd world countries for now. Can be repaired by non-dealers but need to get parts from dealers

[@bentullett6068]

The same issue is going on in the UK agricultural machinery dealers have suffered really low sales for at least two or three years since 2016 as most tractors tend to be more expensive to buy and run as most new tractors have to have add blue systems to cut emissions in the UK and they are a lot more complex to fix. They are also a bit bigger than the tractors brought out 20 years ago and the issue with this is that they can't easily get down the narrow roads/lanes and sometimes the gates to the fields.

[@chancerichards5033]

My family farm only runs older tractors that we can fix are selves the new equipment we run at work has thrown codes with under 100 hours they don’t make modern equipment to last because they know that it will break and they can make more off the owner the newer equipment I have run has had way more problems than the tractors we run on the farm

[@dasdovian7785]

Our local farmers have started buying either different brands,or more commonly, older tractors with no computer systems onboard. The company I work for got rid of all their new- new-ish (00's +) Deere tractors. A combination of the repair issue and slow customer service damn near crippled our harvest season and corporate damn near had a conniption. By the following season Deere tractors were gone from our local facilities.

Isn’t that the way it is now ? John Deere will only guarantee that the product works properly if they are involved. I see a problem if JD puts in features that stalls working equipment unless you pay them to unlock it. (This is not intended to be an upsetting comment).

[@benjaminkent4397]

@@nubreed13 that's not entirely true. They can purchase the hardware and software (much like a dealership does) but it ultimately is cost prohibitive unless you want to start working on tractors all day and stop farming. I get where JD is coming from. Alot of time and $ goes into the development of any product. The high tech machines we have now or even 25 years ago are expensive to design and build. You want to fix it? Go ahead and buy the software. Don't think that just bc they built a tractor there isn't an entire division of electrical engineers, softaare designers, programmers and others involved that still have to be paid and continue developing new products. Btw, thank the us epa if you really have a problem with it. Without increasing demands for cleaner engines with increased efficiency we would still be running the old black smoke spewing tractors of yester year.

I love tractors and tractor history. Please do more of these about the other companies at some point. Thanks for the show.

[@joshuasill1141]

Besides the Deere there isn't much else. You have Case-International Harvester, New Holland, and Massey Ferguson (in the US and Canada). There are others outside the US and the brands I mentioned are owned by foreign conglomerates except Deere, but you rarely see those other brands in the US. They could do defunct brands like Minneapolis-Moline, Big Bud, Ford Tractor division, Allis-Chalmers, Oliver, McCormick, and White Farm but many of these were absorbed by the aforementioned brands. Now an even more interesting story is how old man Lamborghini went from building tractors and farm equipment to producing supercars to destroy Ferrari.

[@ShortArmStrongArm]

[@lokisgodhi]

That's the thing. Farmers don't need to buy these new locked tractors. They can buy or refurbish old tractors. Either ones the own or someone else's unused tractors. Being industrial equipment, users tend to keep them until they have a serious problem. It's not like autos, where people upgrade because of the need to own the new model. This issue makes fixing tractors they'd normally replace more economically viable.

[@fargonianproductions2767]

lokisgodhi but the problem is that some extremely large family owned farms aren’t able to keep up with old equipment, thus why there are new tractors and why the right to repair law exists.

[@Gallus-gallus]

​@@lokisgodhi Yes, keeping old tractors and using them 25.000 hours and more is economically; on the one hand. On the other hand, you need tractors that are reliable. New trators with little hours on the clock tend to be more reliable than old ones. Plus today you'd want new tech in your tractor, like ISOBUS and autosteer. It's difficult to impossible to upgrade older ones. And apart form that, most farms are owenr/oparator businesses. And we rather spend 14 hours on a modern fancy tractor, than on an old goat. Check out "Fendt 1050" and "Valtra N 174D" for examples of state of the art models. I personally don't feel the need to get a John Deere. That right to repair discussion is just one of multiple reasons why I chose other brands.

[@ideitbawxproductions1880]

I grew up on a farm here in the great white north, and we had a lot of John Deere equipment. Our baler had that "bale ejector technology" (we just called it a kicker, but I don't know if that's the technical term for it), and it worked really well... as long as it didn't get stuck after throwing a bale. Which happened. A lot. But, that's farming for ya: if everything is going smoothly, wait 5 minutes. And this is just a small nitpick, but a lot of non-farmers don't know the difference between hay and straw. Hay is the blend of grasses & legumes (like clover, for instance) that gets fed to the animals; that part you nailed, full-stop. Straw, on the other hand, is the stem of the grain plant, gets used for bedding the animals' stalls & pens, and is typically much more disposable; it's much more likely to be used for haunted house mazes & soapbox derby courses than hay. Like I said, minor nitpick, but I thought I'd just let you know

[@GMAN142006]

Active Duty U.S. Marine here, and I have been an engineer equipment mechanic for 14 years now, and we use quite a few J.D. pieces of gear. Medium bulldozer, front end loader, tracked hydraulic excavator, runway sweeper, and either a fuel or water 600gpm pump powered by a J.D. engine. It's funny that this video was released so recently because I am actually in the process of repairing one of our J.D. powered vehicles. We are trying to get an ECM flashed with J.D. programming but the process is... arduous even for us. We have anywhere from a $10,500 to $30,000 electrical diagnostic system for our vehicles, but the J.D. Service Advisor software is not on any of it. We have to get approved to open purchase a $300 software flash from a local J.D. licensed dealer, that is about 120 miles from our base. I thought that was unusual, but it sounds like I have it easy compared to farmers.

my grandparents literally repair stuff all the time, and sometimes when something breaks, it will show up an error code on their tractor or combines and say something like error: 4223, and, obviously, they dont know what error that is (they will look it up sometimes and every once and a while there are a few posts or something along those lines that tell them whats wrong, but even if they fix it, it still has the error and will govern the engine harsher) so then they have to call someone from john deere to drive out to the feild, and then the tractor is either out of comission for a few days- week, or the engine is governed even harsher until the guy shows up, and it costs hundreds of dollars every time

Amazing to see Louis Rossmann cross over into a Donut Media video. Right to repair is a serious issue that needs more attention. It seemed like for too long Louis was the only one giving it true spotlight. Thanks guys!

[@thundercreekcustoms]

We need an episode on International Harvester/ Case IH now

[@henrythrone1344]

Thank you for all the truth in the history of john deere and agriculture as a whole

[@kiatsumi7355]

Oh, so why can't the ACTUAL software engineers that went through college, courses etc. repair tractors? Oh, you need a special paper? Bullshit. I've been to a "hacker" repair shop where unauthorised mechanics repair John Deere stuff, because there is no dealerships for farmers nearby (and believe me, transporting a combine through country isn't an easy thing.) and I spoke to farmers on the site and some of them are repairing their stuff there for more than a decade without any problems.... until John Deere started to block ECU's after recognising someone unauthorised tampered with them.

Imagine how many inventions would be lost today if napkins wouldn't exist.

[@ImponteDeluxo]

Suppose that you were sitting down at a table. The napkins are in front of you, which napkin would you take? The one on your ‘left’? Or the one on your ‘right’? The one on your left side? Or the one on your right side? Usually you would take the one on your left side. That is ‘correct’ too. But in a larger sense on society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute ‘society’ with the ‘Universe’. The correct answer is that ‘It is determined by the one who takes his or her own napkin first.’ …Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right, then there’s no choice but for others to also take the ‘right’ napkin. The same goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left, because they have no other option. This is ‘society’… Who are the ones that determine the price of land first? There must have been someone who determined the value of money, first. The size of the rails on a train track? The magnitude of electricity? Laws and Regulations? Who was the first to determine these things? Did we all do it, because this is a Republic? Or was it Arbitrary? NO! The one who took the napkin first determined all of these things! The rules of this world are determined by that same principle of ‘right or left?’! In a Society like this table, a state of equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era, this World has been operating by this napkin principle. And the one who ‘takes the napkin first’ must be someone who is respected by all. It’s not that anyone can fulfill this role… Those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those are the ‘losers’. In the case of this table, the ‘eldest’ or the ‘Master of the party’ will take the napkin first… Because everyone ‘respects’ those

It should also be noted that clearing the codes can be done with a can sniffer and a laptop. As for emissions, the reason they don't want to screwing with that is because there is an element in the exhaust that gets far hotter than anything in your car or truck to burn off trapped particulates. When it was being designed and we were testing it, we had several fires develop just because he a few leaves around that element. The fact that it is such a delicate balance has why they don't want you anywhere near emissions

When James started talking about right to repair, I imagined a 60-some year-old gritty farmer with a beat up ThinkPad hooked up to his tractor console just HAMMERING at the keyboard

[@knappyfro1]

yeah, and with a crap ThinkPad hooked up to a 20 year old machine, he'll still get it fixed. (though it might take a little bit longer) On most of these machines, there are items that are almost "wear and tear" so you just know when a lift stops working that it's a certain $0.15 rubber o-ring. But when the rules in place state that you can't bring your machine back out of limp mode "legally" after you replaced it for the 4th time?
