I fully support this. Deere and others could easily allow access to most data and lock down other parts so it couldn’t be reflashed or modified. We are Deere people and simple keep our older tractors well maintained and will not be getting new. It leads to another phenomenon that is not specific to the tractor industry, that customers only take a vehicle in for warranty work due to the labor rate, and use independent mechanics for after warranty work. There is often a 100 dollar an hour difference in labor rate.
