   @Børge A. Roum If there's anything confirming that we're living in a dystopian world it is that we need to "win a right" from the manufacturer to repair our own equipment. Also note that this is not a regulation or anything that the manufacturer has to comply with, it's essentially a private contract(?) between a farmers association and the manufacturer.
   
   I'm having a hard time seeing this as anything positive. If anything it helps take some of the pressure off from the manufacturer, so regulation mandating this "right" to everybody is less likely.

     "Tractor maker John Deere has agreed to give its US customers the right to fix their own equipment."

     Finally! But this is just the beginning. We need the right to repair everything, everywhere!

     @forteller @pluralistic The right to repair should be universal!
