My point is that your kind of tractor won't exist anymore if you don't fight for the farmers that are affected now... The manufacturer will eventually upgrade their base model so that you will also get screwed.
This sounds like scare-mongering to me. It's like saying I need to worry that I won't be able to work on my own car pretty soon because I'm not fighting to make sure people can work on their Teslas (which are infamous for being impossible to work on without factory tools). Sorry, I don't buy it: these problems just don't exist on brand-new Japanese cars. Just because there's one manufacturer out there that sucks and abuses its customers doesn't mean they're all going to start doing that soon; there is such a thing as competition. Stop buying from the crappy manufacturer and then you won't have to complain so much.
I've seen lots of these "farmers can't fix their tractors" articles, and without exception, they're ALL about John Deere. There are other farm equipment makers out there: Kubota and New Holland come to mind.
Here's another example: the political leadership in North Korea is really bad. There's huge human-rights violations there. I don't think I need to go into any great detail about just how awful North Korea is.
Do I need to stock up on firearms and start a militia, and then travel to NK to overthrow the leadership there, because there's a real chance of Kim Jong Un taking over the world?
