    A modern John Deere tractor with a robust right-to-repair would still be a pain to do maintenance on. A big part of the reason people want old tractors is because they don't have t…

    There have always been lame people like this and for all of human history we have continued to explore and expand. I think at this point those people can safely be ignored.
