When I was a toddler, we were allowed to climb on all the farm implements displayed at the Grange Fair, as though they were jungle gyms. Or was this "Madmen-esque" memory implanted in me as a screen to cover an alien abduction?

#JohnDeere to Pay $99 Million in Monumental #RightToRepair Settlement
The ag manufacturing giant will also make digital diagnostic, maintenance, and repair tools available to third parties for 10 years.by Caleb Jacobs
Published Apr 8, 2026Excerpt: "The settlement also includes an agreement by Deere to provide 'the digital tools required for the maintenance, diagnosis, and repair' of tractors, combines, and other machinery for 10 years. That part is crucial, as farmers previously resorted to hacking their own equipment’s software just to get it up and running again. John Deere signed a memorandum of understanding in 2023 that partially addressed those concerns, providing third parties with the technology to diagnose and repair, as long as its intellectual property was safeguarded. Monday’s settlement seems to represent a much stronger (and legally binding) step forward.
"Ripple effects of this battle have been felt far beyond the sales floors at John Deere dealers, as the price of used equipment skyrocketed in response to the infamous service difficulties. Even when the cost of older #tractors doubled, farmers reasoned that they were still worth it because repairs were simpler and downtime was minimized. $60,000 for a 40-year-old machine became the norm."

"U.S. agriculture equipment maker Deere on Monday agreed to pay $99 million into a settlement fund for farms and farmers that are part of a class action over costs and access to repairs.
The case is part of broader scrutiny in the U.S. over so-called right-to-repair practices, with regulators and plaintiffs arguing that some manufacturers limit competition by controlling access to repair tools and software.
The settlement fund covers eligible plaintiffs who paid Deere’s authorized dealers for repairs to large agricultural equipment from January 2018, according to a document filed on Monday in the federal court in Chicago, Illinois.
In the settlement, Deere also agreed to make available to farmers for 10 years "the digital tools required for the maintenance, diagnosis, and repair" of large agricultural equipment, including tractors, combines, and sugarcane harvesters, the filing showed."

The fix inches closer: #Iowa moves #farm #righttorepair bill forward
Soon, #farmers could have easier access to the tools and software needed to repair their #tractors. A recent Iowa House committee 18-5 vote advancing a right-to-repair bill could bring changes benefiting thousands of farmers in the #US' second-largest #agricultural state, supporters say.
Manufacturers like #JohnDeere have resisted broader access to proprietary repair software

WTF!?!
"The nightmare scenario, and a fear I heard expressed over and over again in talking with farmers, is that #JohnDeere could remotely shut down a #tractor and there wouldn’t be anything a farmer could do about it."
I learned about that in the talk by @pluralistic at #39C3 -

Secret Kill Switch on Chinese Buses
Test results showed that the Chinese bus maker had access to the vehicles' control systems for software updates and diagnostics. A leading Norwegian public transport operator has said it will introduce stricter security requirements and step up anti-hacking measures after a test on new Chinese-made electric buses showed the manufacturer could remotely turn them off. Transport operator Ruter said test results published last week showed that Chinese bus maker Yutong Group had access to their […]https://activitypub.writeworks.uk/2025/11/secret-kill-switch-on-chinese-buses/
