I Fixed a Tractor Using John Deere's Self-Repair Service. Farmers Aren't Sold

John Deere demonstrated its new self-repair software, Operations Center Pro Service, which allows owners to diagnose and fix certain tractor problems remotely through a laptop interface. Despite the company's effort to position itself as owner-friendly, many farmers remain skeptical due to John Deere's long history of restricting repairs through digital locks that require official dealer approval, which has made the company a major target of the right-to-repair movement.
