right so we need to start other companies and support them
JD shouldn't get the business as they've shown they're not a good company
Agreed and absolutely correct.
This is old news though. Farmers been talking about JD strangling them by the short hairs with warranty nullification for well over a decade now.
The fine print when you buy a new JD implement figuratively says "XXX,XXX runtime/hr powertrain warranty..... But, if we discover you've done so much as any repair work then your warranty is voided and licensed JD retailers cannot sell you parts".
So basically, they are forcing all new owners of their implements to be slaves to the "dealership" for any and all repair work. It's nothing more than a huge money grab. The secondary side effects are what they are. Desirable to JD? Perhaps. Desirable in the grand scheme of all things controlled by wicked corporate interests and oversight? Sure. But the bottom line is always $$$.
