Warren recently sent a letter to John Deere CEO John May, asserting that the company is “evading” its obligations to comply with federal laws and respect customers’ rights. According to Warren, John Deere is failing to provide farmers with the necessary tools to properly repair their agricultural equipment and is allegedly violating the Clean Air Act in the process.
Deere just seems to be the most short-sighted company in the industry. I was in the market for a tiny tractor and even the fucking loader buckets are proprietary. Every other brand standardized on the skid steer/track loader interface so you can use all the attachments that are widely available but if you want to use them on a Deere you need to pay extra for a special adapter. There is literally nothing better about their system, it’s just designed to make you buy their attachments.
