These tractor-hacking farmers are fighting for the right to repair their own equipment.
Subscribe here: freeth.ink/youtube-subscribe-t...
Tractor hacking is a fast-growing trend in the farming community - but it’s not outsiders breaking in. Throughout the American heartland, disgruntled farmers are using software sourced from Eastern Europe to break into their own tractors.
The farmers have resorted to tractor hacking for reasons that go far beyond agriculture. They’re part of a larger movement against big-name companies, like John Deere, that are withholding the right to repair.

Tech has always been used to control people. Think of parking meters. Coin in the slot type machines. Electronic door access codes. Security cameras. Turnstiles. Speed cameras and redlight cameras. Activating software. Even where it gives the ILLUSION of empowerment there is always an underlying seizure of power. "The velvet prison" I have always described it.

Aswell as the puny 250km/h speed limit etc. Tech is awesome, i get alerted to any police controls near my car when driving. So i can easy avoid them/slow down. Not to mention tech allowing me to experience performance that was pretty much limited too professional drivers/super rich people when i was a kid in the 90s.

@jwenting 3 года назад

and despite what they're claiming here the same is true for cars. That diagnostics software car mechanics use is used by them under a service level agreement with the manufacturer. Which makes perfect sense as the manufacturer sends out regular updates with data for new models, bugfixes, etc. etc. which costs the manufacturer money. Where JD goes wrong IMO is in not making that software available at all to independent shops and operators, only to certified dealers. I have worked in the software industry for going on 25 years, and am constantly surprised and disgusted by the idea that many people seem to have that creating and maintaining software is a zero cost process simply because the distribution happens using some intangible medium like the internet (which btw also costs money to build, maintain, and operate).

We do not argue about being able to change oil in a car, but it can do serious damage if done incorrectly. I think it is time to treat adults like adults.

I've repaired the board on mine twice now and modified the machine for better ventilation. Just because I hate being scammed like that really.

Manufacturers should be required to divulge ALL technology software to the purchaser.

It's not just John Deere. Even though 3rd party software is available for cars and trucks, it's not always accurate. In most cases the software company has to figure out the system before writing the software and they're not always right. I bought software for my diesel pu, but it sometimes gets the problem wrong. I change a perfectly good part, still have problems until I start changing related electronics. The whole issue or repairing owned equipment needs to be overhauled.

@Kitsunary 2 года назад

Availability and efficiency. Just like buying a car, you can only reasonably buy from somewhere nearby and modern machines using software are much more efficient than older tractors at getting the job done. If your only options nearby are machines with software that can't even diagnose the easy to fix problems, then there are really no options since every single problem will require going back to the dealer. A tractor isn't something that can cheaply and easily be shipped long distances.

Europe has addressed this issue much more than the USA. In the USA the DMCA made it illegal to disassemble software so that you could make something work. Manufacturers leapt onto this and added software to things like ink cartridges so that they couldn't be refilled. This is bad for the consumer and it is bad for the environment. Europe reversed this and said that copyright is null and void to the extent that it is necessary to violate it in order to maintain or supply equipment. There may be weaknesses but Europe is twenty years ahead of the US in this regard.

This is why I put a Detroit diesel in my 2009 Ford F350. I want something I can repair and run forever.:)

If you own it AFTER buying it should be within your power or domain to repair it. NO matter what item you bought. Monopolies are for big businesses and should be outlawed.
