Des Moines Register: Deere & Co. says it will make expanded repair software available to customers, a win for farmers who have lobbied for years for the ability to do their own mechanical work. Starting in May, farmers and independent repair shops will be able to buy through Deere’s online store a version of its Customer Service Advisor diagnostic service tool. It said it will follow up in 2023 with “an enhanced customer solution” allowing owners and independent mechanics to download software updates to the machines from a Deere data network.
