Legislation is by nature a compromise, requiring some "controlled collusion" between the affected parties, that often results in some very unintended consequences.
How could a "right to repair" law affect the used farm equipment market? It is probably not reasonable to legislate that manufacturers must support all their equipment for 50 plus years like they pretty much always do now. Something like 20 years for tractors and 10 years for combines might be the maximum that can be legislated. Liability cost and product support costs could easily force manufacturers to only lease new and used self propelled equipment: tractors, combines, self propelled harvesters, etc.), and force them to scrap all machines after a certain age or hours, say end all combine leases and scrap them after they reach 15 years or 3000 hours. That could be an unexpected boon to manufacturers, but where will that leave small farmer who depends on used equipment?
