content: It is John Deere. And it's even worse than that. They make you sign a contract when you purchase their equipment that they are 100% not liable for any damage/loss/crop failure/etc. as a result of not having a working piece of gear. That means if you need something to get back up and running, the next appointment for a tech is two weeks away, and because of that your crops wither and die, "Too bad, so sad" according to the contract. They're not responsible. Even if you get a part and swap it yourself, you still have to wait for a tech to come out and plug their laptop in for 10 minutes to "authorize" the new part in the ECU. That's why many farmers have turned to grey market Russian/Ukranian sites where they pay like $500 for the right software to do that shit themselves.
