- In some cases, American farmers aren't able to or allowed to repair the equipment they own. Right to repair laws are aiming to change that - and may have other implications. Barry Peterson has more.

This issue is HUGE, not just to farmers, but to other industries, electronics, household appliances, and many more.
The problem with appliances is they are junk when they leave the factory. Farm equipment should and often does last for decades.
In Russia we have passed LAWS AGAINST PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE! Everything manufactured and built must be designed to last, function, remain reusable, DIY repairable, DIY maintainable, DIY trouble-shootable AS LONG AS THEY EXIST EVEN IN THE FIELD! They should be built to last for 10,000 years for I am an engineer and I knew of alloys and other engineering materials that can last for as long as they exist!
Our Russian computers has hardwired OPEN-SOURCED SOFTWARE-PROGRAMS and hardware.
@@darthvader5300 it's the computer systems primarily. Circuit boards become obsolete before the machine actually wears out. It's not unusual to find a 50 year old refrigerator sitting in the back of someone's barn and plug it in to find it still working. All mechanical components, made in America. Today my friend most of the parts are made in China. Your leader there should be wise to learn the mistakes of America and other countries and steer clear of doing business with the Chinese. Their first order of business is to decimate your economy and bleed you dry like a parasite.
I was told that our local john deere dealer gets $200 per hour labor. Big savings to repair equipment themselves instead of calling a dealer.
I purchased a big John Deere tractor brand new in 2004. It has no computers in it and I fix everything that breaks. I would love to upgrade to a new one but will not buy anything with a computer that I am not allowed to access. It is all about money. Corporations now have a perfect tool to create a monopoly and keep all the money to themselves.
She???
Regarding the comment at the end..."its hard to find a repair tech". Yes, because thanks to companies like Apple and John Deere there was nothing to repair. Why would people stay in a job where the customer is didappearing?
Not to mention companies like Apple do not sell parts, and sues anyone that does. Newer versions of Apple products permanently brick themselves should the electronic serial number of any of its parts change.
"SHE"? Where? Can't find "she"!
What a great story and the implications are huge. Industries and their outlets (retail stores in many instances) must also change in order for this movement to become meaningful.
I recently purchased a new cell phone. The phone I replaced I had for 7 years. It worked beautifully, but Verizon and LG stopped providing firmware updates for the phone so it was increasingly more difficult to rely on. So I was forced to replace a perfectly good and operational phone. The Verizon retail experience--while generally very good, featured some 'shaming' that I had such an old phone. No one every asked my did the phone generally work well.
The retail and customer point of use model will need to be remodeled to include a method whereby the customer can easily and fully upgrade the firm ware in these devices (tractors to phones) to keep the device operational and 'modern'. Changing the point of use model will be the challenge, not making it all work.

Another one playing make-believe.
It doesn't matter to me.
She my hind leg
IT IS… MA’AM
Super important matter - I understand the genuine sentiment of the farmers in this regard. Technology provides much in the way of benefits, but must be accessible, efficient, in must never impede progress, but promote it. Farmers are, by the nature of their work, "hands on" people. We should take care to preserve this part of their profession, and I would say, even culture. We all could do with a bit of "hand on" philosophy in this World as it will empower all of us and render us more capable. With warmest thanks to all farmers for all the good they provide to so many.
Hope the same goes with semi trucks, those DEF systems ive spent over 100k on repairs
why the hell would they not be allowed to repair equipment they own ??????
Money 🤑
John Deere is the worst at controlling who what and when a machine is repaired. Greed is the green eyed monster. Case IH is the farmers advocate letting them decide but not abandoning them when they're needed. Give respect to America's farmers, nobody works without them. You can be carnivore or a vegetarian, but it's the American farmer who fuels everyone. Remember they don't get it done without our oil field and refinery workers.
It's about proprietary BS programmed into their equipment.
@@blueridgerider7954 You are right! That's what happened to Sears. Four to seven dollars to buy their bolts. A mandrel was near $30 and I could get the same part for $8. Back in the day their catalog's we're in nearly every home. A 1960 hot water heater lasted 40 years. The business model sure did change over the years.
We are allowed. If you don’t know the facts then you can be mislead. As a farmer I can fix anything on my tractors that I want. The issue is if something breaks down computer wise we do not have the codes for our laptop to determine the problem.
F John Deere
Same deal in the automotive industry. Technicians have to spend thousands on diagnostic readers. This should be readily available for free.
Barry cast to wide of a net here.
Let me try to explain this, as a small farmer.
My biggest piece of equipment is a Combine.
They're $2.6 million dollars to $5 million each.
If mine breaks down, I have to hire a OVERSIZED LOAD
trucking company to haul it to, and from the Dealership.
$5,000.00 each way.
Because they don't offer "at farm services".
Once at the dealer's place it can take from 6 days, to 6 months
to fix my combine. Now, YES I can rent one of his used ones,
but that more trucking, at $5,000.00 each way.
Now picture me holding a tablet.
I buy a chunk of software that says which of the 600 censers/readers
is faulty, or maybe just covered in dust. (and no I'm not kidding)
Dust on a reader, cost me $18,000, and 2 weeks use, 3 years ago.
Now I turn on the tablet, and POOF I have to dust off a reader.
Total time? 15 minutes. Cost? $3,000.
See the difference?
I'm not gonna be Jeff Bezos here.
I just want to feed and cloth my kids,
and send em to Collage so they can do better then me.
Isn't that what America is?
He tells us, one can save around 40k to 50k $ a year. Everybody gasps... So much money!
And he says this while servicing his relatively new GLEANER - this beast alone does cost him half a million......
If you think a cell phone creates a huge amount of pollution, consider what an all electric car, truck or tractor creates.
Plug, play and throw away has become part of our culture. However it is more complicate than meets the eye. To self repair the item must be repairable. That means replacing printed circuit assemblies with more expensive hardwire assemblies which are more expensive to make, mainly due to wiring errors. The right is not of much value if the item is not designed to be repairable
And John Deere is the biggest culprit in the farming industry against right to repair.
Manufacturers who fail or refuse to provide the opportunity to repair in lieu of replacement should be taxed ferociously. Too much waste in this planet already.
Then they will past the extra cost of the tax into the consumer, not a good idea.
@@Bama1963 Which will make them unable to remain cost-competitive against other manufacturers who do the right thing and don't get taxed. Free market needs a nudge sometimes, but it does work!
That's a man
The issue is "who is then responsible" as many repairs affect pollution control and like many cars people will bypass them. Congress should give everyone right to repair and responsibility for all fines if it fails pollution standards regardless of who they claim repaired it. Ok, what if I have company repair it. Fine, with letter of certification that it was correct and tested showing results. Built heavy trucks for many years and by passing EPA mandated requirements then finding it caused other issues and expecting warranty coverage was major.
Teasla beter take note !!!
That was a pretty manly girl…..
I update my iPhone when ever Apple tells me to!
Around 4:00. Um, "consumer electronics" were never banned from being repaired by owners. Literally, I built my own PC from parts purchased separately, and any time I want, I can repair, replace, upgrade... It's mine. I do what i want with it. That has never not been true.
Apple
Glad CBS finally did the same video that Vice did years ago. Way to scoop the competition you dolts
What the hell is that thing
dassadoo
Some people have short memories there was a time people didn’t want repair the vehicles or farming equipment etc and they got their wish. Now in order to get things repaired it’s nearly impossible , cost to much or you have upgraded because it out of date.🤔
LOL! Not sure what planet you're living on, but that was some serious BS up there...
In Russia we have passed LAWS AGAINST PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE! Everything manufactured and built must be designed to last, function, remain reusable, DIY repairable, DIY maintainable, DIY trouble-shootable AS LONG AS THEY EXIST EVEN IN THE FIELD! They should be built to last for 10,000 years for I am an engineer and I knew of alloys and other engineering materials that can last for as long as they exist! Our Russian computers has hardwired OPEN-SOURCED SOFTWARE-PROGRAMS and hardware.
What will the farmers do when they transition to all electric like California is doing 🤔
ILIVE NEXT TO A FARM HERE IN CT
THEY FIX THEIR OWN STUFF
AND EVS NOT A CHANCE!
That's no woman that's a guy.
"They" exercised "thier" right to repair..
1984
Minnesota's right to repair bill is the worst right to repair bill. It doesn't allow Agriculture or construction equipment in the bill. Read it
If those two things are not in the bill, what the heck IS in the bill? The two most important things are ag and construction.
@@je862 exactly Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed a groundbreaking right-to-repair law after it passed the state legislature in April. The rules, part of an omnibus appropriations bill, require electronics manufacturers to let independent repair shops and consumers buy the parts and tools necessary to repair their own equipment. But the rules don’t apply to some notable categories, including farm equipment, game consoles, medical devices, and motor vehicles.
@@grassylakefarm890 This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard of. The bad thing about a lot of components that if they were manufactured in such a way that they could be disassembled in order to be repaired, but a lot of them cannot be disassembled without breaking the outer case or structure, rendering them useless.
If these things could be designed and assembled to be repaired, you could get years of used from them, instead of the planned 12-24 months. The fight continues!
Work me! I need a job!
