Based on the article, Deere is just being greedy. The way to handle them would be for the farmers to STOP BUYING DEERE. When their profits drop from lack of sales, they will get the hint that the consumers aren't happy with their way of doing business.
I have yet to understand why things like this don't happen more often. Instead I see people continue to buy new stuff, and then turn right around and complain about it....Other than 'modern conveniences' like A/C, etc, most wish it was like the older stuff they just got rid of.....like I recommended they not do.........
That said, there's no reason Deere should have issues giving out, at a minimum, basic troubleshooting codes, and their meanings. Heck, I don't know of a construction equipment mfg that doesn't do this. Granted the manuals are expensive as heck, but at least anyone, dealer or independent, can work on the machine when it goes down, at least to some degree.
Like I said, this is all about Deere being greedy, and the consumers are going to have to realize THEY are the ones holding the real cards, regardless of what Deere may think.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
