I was watching some of the videos on your YouTube channel last month. The article at the link below reminded me of the video of you trying to reset the oil reminder on your John Deere tractor.

It appears you are not the only one having issues with the increased complexities of their farm equipment. I did find the line, "driving around a giant black box outfitted with harvesting blades" pretty funny though.

Thanks for the link - I have been following this because it looks like it could become a much bigger issue. Will be interesting to see where the lawsuit ends up.

Thanks for watching the videos! What I am learning is that I think what I do is not that interesting to others but am finding lots of people are interested AND ARE WATCHING! I will keep posting if I can keep it interesting.

US farmers win right to repair John Deere equipment​

Tractor maker John Deere has agreed to give its US customers the right to fix their own equipment.

Previously, farmers were only allowed to use authorised parts and service facilities rather than cheaper independent repair options.
Deere and Co. is one of the world's largest makers farming equipment.

Consumer groups have for years been calling on companies to allow their customers to be able to fix everything from smartphones to tractors.
The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) and Deere & Co. signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on Sunday.

"It addresses a long-running issue for farmers and ranchers when it comes to accessing tools, information and resources, while protecting John Deere's intellectual property rights and ensuring equipment safety," AFBF President Zippy Duvall said.

Under the agreement, equipment owners and independent technicians will not be allowed to "divulge trade secrets" or "override safety features or emissions controls or to adjust Agricultural Equipment power levels."

The firm looks forward to working with the AFBF and "our customers in the months and years ahead to ensure farmers continue to have the tools and resources to diagnose, maintain and repair their equipment," Dave Gilmore, a senior vice president at Deere & Co. said.
