Maybe not make the equipment cost and arm and a leg?
you want to get real pissed look into the "right to repair" lawsuits going on with those big tractor and machinery manufacturers.
if you work on your own tractor they can disable it and refuse to give you codes to get it running again.
...for your safety.
NO FUCKING WAY!
That is some communist bullshit right there. I'm telling you that is what they fucking want for EVERYTHING. Pretty soon you won't be able to fix your own fucking BREAKFAST.
Man ... just when I get myself calmed down, I read about shit like this.
that link is exactly the issue i was talking about, it's insane. there are people out there who are running black market computer hacking services for farmers... when john deer comes in and shuts their machinery down these white hat hackers come in and hack the tractors to get them working again.
it's insane that you pay 100k for a combine then can't even change a fucking tire on it without them shutting your machine down unless you pay a huge fine/fee to have their "professional" come and take the tire off and put it back on again.
LoL...100k for a combine!! Better double that.
That's exactly the same shit going on with McDonald's ice cream machines. I just read about it a couple of months ago. I don't have the article I read but I found this one that doesn't go into quite the depth as the one I read but it explains well enough what is going on. https://readon.substack.com/p/why-are-ice-cream-machines-at-mc
solution: change back to non-computer running tractor (or, modify computer out of tractor if you start working on it on your own)
