Who knows how honest John Deere were being in their claims about the tractors. But, they did claim that they were able to disable the tractors remotely, as if that were a feature.
But, it's true, I've heard that when American farmers want to repair their own John Deere tractors, they tend to use Ukrainian firmware.
