The Epoch Times called attention to some very big news for American farmers last week. Entering into a memorandum of understanding with the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), John Deere agreed to allow farmers to repair their own tractors. According to the AFBF, the new agreement authorizes farmers access to diagnostic and repair codes, field manuals, and various product guides which were previously protected by copyright laws. However, what the agreement doesn’t allow for is the end-user capability to alter emissions controls, adjust power levels, or override safety features.
