John Deere Opens Repair Doors for Farmers | Duluth News

John Deere is settling a major lawsuit that accused the company of locking farmers out of repairing their own equipment—forcing them to rely on authorized dealers for access to critical software and tools. The 10-year agreement grants farmers and independent shops the same repair access as dealers, empowering them to choose their fixers or even DIY repairs. Sparked by a multi-state lawsuit overseen by the FTC, this move responds to long-standing frustrations over repair monopolies and aims to save farmers time and money. Wisconsin’s push for “right to repair” laws reflects broader momentum, while Deere supports the settlement as a win for customer access and agricultural productivity.
