This is grade A bs. I have seen plenty of videos of farmers repairing newer tractors without dealer involvement. Not talking about the compact tractors used on acreages either. If you get into changing ECU/ECMs, that I do not know about, and would not be surprised id a dealer needs to do something.

That’s a big reason my son left. He only worked there one year out of college, but said John Deere treats the farmer like crap.
