      People don’t realize this isn’t just an issue for farmers. If John Deere can take away the right to repair, what can automotive companies do?
      Edit: I get it. Other companies are doing it too. The point is it’s still illegal because in the US we have the Right to Repair law. If they let John Deere get away with it, all the other companies can too.

      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).

      @@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.

    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
      @tupetsi430 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @hunteder6423 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      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.

    • @bentullett6068
      @bentullett6068 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      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.

      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

  • @Stansen141
    @Stansen141 3 ปีที่แล้ว +48

    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.

      @lokisgodhi 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      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
      @fargonianproductions2767 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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
      @Gallus-gallus 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      ​@@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.

    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.

    I've grown up on a farm my whole life. My dad and my brother both farm. Mostly because of this channel actually, I've gotten into cars, it's really become a passion for me. So for you guys to do an episode on something so engrained in my past and my life is really really cool! And I was honestly a little worried you'd sound a bit amateur, but you guys did amazing. Love your writing, everyone at donut deserves the most epic hand hurting high five! Love you guys

    The issue with apple and John Deere is they won’t give authorization to a certified local dealer or repair shop. We don’t have this issue in the AC business… and yes ACs have gotten just as technical with programmed drive boards. The difference is AC manufacturers make businesses go through a process to the certify them as an authorized repair or installer. If this was this case with John Deere… the local business who is authorized to work on the equipment and knows the regulations will be liable if emissions are not set correctly or if their own repair caused more issues.

    • @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

    Right to repair also affects the heavy truck industry significantly. Though most tuners and talented shops can purchase access to the software, there are also versions of the software that have been hacked and are in widespread use today.
    The first manufacturer to break this trend of trying to monopolize their repairs and ability to maintain their product will take over the industry.

      Yes, and the argument that an unqualified repairman could cause damage to the vehicle is absurd. Louis Rossman has demonstrated time and time again that licensed Apple repair shops can do an abysmal job that he's then given to fix. The solution is to make the documentation public so people can learn how to maintain their vehicles well.

      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
      Torque is how far you take the wall with you.
      For what it's worth, most attachments for equipment will generally recommend a hp rating for their particular implement.
      Torque is all about gear ratio and reduction (from the crankshaft to the flywheel or transmission to rear end). I could have a 500hp engine in my hot rod with 450 lb ft of torque, while my semi truck may have 565hp with 2200 lb ft of torque (gearing and reduction). Which one has more power? Depends on how much weight (how far you take the wall with you) you intend on moving.

    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

      If you know American farmers, you know they're never going to give up their John Deere for anything not American. It's a bit of a toxic mentality because American companies can fuck over their customers in ways like this.

    • @patrickroushmusic
      @patrickroushmusic 4 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Fendt also does not make a lot of equipment that is of the same scale that a lot of American farmers need. Rising cost and lower market values causes smaller farms to fail, so larger farms do better. Large farms can not afford or find help from the number of employees they need, so they buy larger equipment that can do the job. Fendt and non-domestic brands show up more on small farms or in hilly/mountainous areas where large farms can not exist.

      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.

    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

      yeah, and with a crap ThinkPad hooked up to a 20 year old machine, he'll still get it fixed.

    Wasn't able to add this to your pinned post. But here's my take:
    It's REALLY interesting you've gotten into this area. Deere is one of the most innovative companies that actually DO enhance agriculture cultivation. Farmers, and that is absolutely going to include some very big companies with their bleeding corporate farms, are going to get involved, but likely not care much since they'll be pricing the repair contracts over hiring qualified technicians. But for the (honestly struggling) family or even small Limited Partnership farms that would REALLY like to use the most innovative tech Deere offers but not have to trim their profit margins with yearly investment in maintenance contracts, it delivers a tremendous problem. It's both mechanical and digital, these damn things. And it would seem difficult to uncouple them. But I don't see why. Deere is honestly, as you state, tarnishing their reputation as a friend of the American farmer. It's opening up players like Komatsu, Kubota, and old guard companies like Holland et al, to get deeper into the game, and grab some market share in the advanced equipment market. It's not going to work out for them in the long run, I feel. They need to do what the car makers did, license and open up the market to other manufacturers under license agreements. It's just greedy, what's going on. And not helping the people who need it the most.

      Just Aguy I kinda agree with you. But on the other hand, do you really want some “know-it-all mechanic neighbor” to have acces at software level on a self-driving 20-25 tonne tractor? For example, I’ve seen for myself software to delete fault codes without fixing the problem. Untraceable to find unless you get deep in the code of the software. Fault codes you can delete on a passenger airbag for example, never to be found unless you guessed it it does not deploy in an accident. Keep in mind without regulations their will always be people taking shortcuts to save money.
      So what happens if a computer module fails on this self driving tractor. Buy a new module and maybe have a bill of 5k, or just delete the fault without fully understanding what will happen to other potential safety systems? And next year the tractor decides to go mental?

      Just Aguy but that’s kind of the issue, if you give “normal people” acces to those systems who knows what they will do? If a module fails it not because of the software but because something in the module fails, so then you can replace it, or differt/delete the problem without fundamentaly understanding the outcome.
      Maybe a half way solution is better, let John Deere sell parts to customers, they can repair it and have an “mobile tech” with a van go the farm with the equipment to diagnose/delete the software. This way you can assure the repair is done correctly without any monkey business.

    This is a huge debate with the tech community as well. The right to repair is highly debated, large companies like apple and Microsoft come together and hire lobbyist to convince local representative to strike down right to repair. Companies like ifixit, Louis Rossmann repair group(TH-camr with a lot of great videos on this topic as well as john deer) and many small local repair shops spend their own money trying to pass these bills on behalf of the consumers. Apple is a large offend in this community because even if you buy genuine apple repair parts(which they don't sell) apple will stop part of the functionality of your phone because they want to be the only one to fix your phone and they will charge you 10x the price of the parts. Watch Louis Rossmann for more info.
