John Deere needs to learn a thing or two about cyber security. They have none lol..
John Deere is guilty of keeping machine codes and software un available to people who own their machines, so only a Dealer can fix issues.
We faced this in the Auto industry years ago.
I kind of hope the company is hacked as this presenter states....

As of 2020, no right to repair law has passed in the US. But more than 20 states are considering legislation similar to Nebraska's, and Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have both supported national right to repair legislation for farmers. When it comes to repair, farmers have always been self reliant. But the modernization of tractors and other farm equipment over the past few decades has left most farmers in the dust thanks to diagnostic software that large manufacturers hold a monopoly over. In this episode of State of Repair, we go to Nebraska to talk to the farmers and mechanics who are fighting large manufacturers like John Deere for the right to access the diagnostic software they need to repair their tractors.

The train of thought from the OEM is crazy, a tractor like that likely costs more than a small house. Someone paid for it, that makes it theres.
