… is it insane that as a society we are now about to celebrate that someone’s building a tractor that has no electronics and is easily serviceable? Did John Deere legit ruin this industry? What a timeline.

My dad was not a farmer, but he always bought old trackers with no electronics so they could be worked on. I really see no point in most electronics on tractors until you get fully autonomous ones.

It’s actually insane how we went from reliable diesel machine to rolling subscription service with DRM on the engine in one generation

How can an old 12 valve cummins with mechanical fuel injection meet the current emissions spec? It can’t. Even off road equipment needs to meet that spec now.
What loophole are they exploiting?

Lol remanned engines. For 150-200k with nothing else? Sheeeeeeeit.

Cool. My early 1950s Fords are my favorite tractors. My „modern“ tractor is expensive to fix and has more downtime and maintenance requirements. Most of the stuff on my Fords are cast iron, and anyone can work on them for cheap.

Now if I could get a truck with a 12 valve and minimal electronics, that’d be a deal.

The best part is you can still use electronics to do the job, whichever it may be. This just opens it up for farmers to grab GPS positioning tech that THEY can control, maybe update when they choose.
Now if we can just get cars back to DIN units for entertainment systems. lol

They are giving the people what they want (which is just something they actually own, when they pay for it).

They are gonna sell heaps. The insane amount of electronic crap in vehicles today has gone too far.

This is HUGE in the diesel world everyone hates the electronics pre computers machines are like having gold I always tell my customers if it’s pre electronics the rebuild price is always worth it. I’ve been in the business for 15 years and the hate has been a constant refrain and honestly I get it

People need to learn electronics ≠ computers. I love analog electronic devices.

So does this mean the engine has points, a distributor, and a carburetor? I used to like working on those.

Please do a classic farm truck next!
2 door bench seat, manual, 8ft bed, make an edelbrocker carb oem, and a v8 motor.

From my understanding nobody had a problem with the electronics in tractors. Almost all the problems they had is that the electronics in modern tractors has DRM that makes it only serviceable by the manufacturer.
