In the states, there have been nearly three dozen efforts to create laws protecting the right to repair, but none of them have passed. Schweitzer, who aided an effort in Montana, cites industry lobbying, particularly from Deere. “When we were doing this, we were able to get our bill out of Senate committee,” he said. At that point, Deere “parachuted in lobbyists, from Illinois, D.C., California, into Helena. One of my members, her dealer from a little town told her privately that she supported it. But then she testified against it. When we asked why, she said she got a call from Deere. They’re ruthless.” Deere maintains that it doesn’t share data with seed companies. But Deere does run a thriving credit business, lending to farmers to buy land and equipment (potentially from Deere itself). For years, Deere has said it would consult data from machinery in making lending decisions, if the farmer agrees to it. That could lead to forms of de facto extortion as well. John Deere is the world’s largest producer of farm equipment, with more market share than its two largest competitors.

As it happens, Deere has been aggressively consolidating dealership networks across the country. According to one of the right-to-repair lawsuits, Deere cut its total number of repair shop dealerships from 3,400 in 1996 to around 1,544 today. A whopping 91 percent of them are owned by a franchise with no fewer than five, and often many more, individual outlets.Farmers have traditionally had the ability to repair and maintain their own tractors as needed, or else have had the option to bring their tractors to an independent mechanic,” the lawsuit said. “However, in newer generations of its agricultural equipment, Deere has deliberately monopolized the market for repair and maintenance services of its agricultural equipment with Engine Control Units (ECUs) by making crucial software and repair tools inaccessible to farmers and independent repair shops.” Pripps, Robert (2011-02-28).

During World War II, the great-grandson of John Deere, Charles Deere Wiman, was president of the company, but he accepted a commission as a colonel in the U.S. Army. Burton F. Peek was hired as president during this period. Before Wiman returned to work at the company in late 1944, he directed the farm machinery and equipment division of the War Production Board. [20] In addition to farm machinery, John Deere manufactured military tractors, and transmissions for the M3 tank. They also made aircraft parts, ammunition, and mobile laundry units to support the war effort. [21]

UPDATE: Three days after publication, Deere provided a comment, saying that the company does not comment on pending litigation, but that it “fully supports our customers’ needs to maintain and repair their Deere equipment... providing easy access to detailed product information, spare parts and software needed for owners to repair their machines, including diagnostic tools and remote access to technicians for long-distance help.” But many farmers and advocates dispute these claims.Nosowitz, Dan (24 July 2017).

Farmers have traditionally had the ability to repair and maintain their own tractors as needed, or else have had the option to bring their tractors to an independent mechanic. However, in newer generations of its agricultural equipment, Deere has deliberately monopolized the market for repair and maintenance services of its agricultural equipment with ECUs... by making crucial software and repair tools inaccessible to farmers and independent repair shops," the lawsuit states. "Furthermore, Deere’s network of highly-consolidated independent dealerships... is not permitted through their agreements with Deere to provide farmers or repair shops with access to the same software and repair tools the dealerships have."

John Deere sold farmers their tractors, but has used software to maintain control of every aspect of its use after the sale. Kluthe, for example, uses pig manure to power his tractor, which requires engine modifications that would likely violate John Deere's terms of service on newer machines.
