FTC settlement allows more independent repairs for John Deere equipment
The Federal Trade Commission settlement requires John Deere to let farmers and local mechanics perform certain fixes instead of relying solely on authorized dealers.
The Federal Trade Commission, according to the New York Times, reached a settlement with John Deere that expands farmers and local mechanics ability to repair farm equipment.
The agreement will allow independent parties to make fixes rather than requiring repairs through authorized dealers, shifting control of maintenance work away from Deere's dealer network.
NYT Business reports the settlement is designed to support right-to-repair by enabling owners to address certain equipment issues themselves.
