John Deere Lets Farmers Repair Their Own Equipment | Lincoln News

John Deere just agreed to a major settlement that empowers farmers to fix their own tractors and combines — a win for the right to repair after years of being locked into dealer-only service. The deal, spurred by lawsuits from states like Illinois and Pennsylvania, opens up diagnostic tools and repair manuals to owners and independent shops, slashing downtime and costs during harvest. John Deere also coughs up $5 million to fund farmer repair programs — all while claiming it’s about better customer support. This is a big step toward leveling the playing field for agribusinesses who’ve long demanded more control over their own equipment.
