  1. At one time, GM did it right by the aftermarket, and by extension , independent auto repair shops. So most American car makers , one way or the other, all the big three. You could then buy a Scan Tool ( mostly Snap On, OTC, or Vectronix ) , and go about diagnosing and repairing your customers vehicles. In addition , every OEM branded their spares for the Aftermarket. GM with AC Delco , Ford with Rotunda. And wiring diagrams , and after two year lapse in electronic format, with TSBs , through Mitchell and Alldata. If you wanted an OEM like scan tool , only after OBD-II conectivity standards were enacted by the Federal Government. GM , which at once owned Vektronix , availed it’s tool to the aftermarket ( Tech-1 and Tech -2 ). So right there , two things stood to notice and could be applied to today’s similar issues … 1. Federal Governmrnt ought to mandate and enforce that OEMs have access to repair data , using open standards. 2. Manufacturers can license , or direct sell, diagnostic handheld tools to independent repair shops , tied to OEM training. 3. So if one wants to work on John Deere’s equipment , he/she can undergo training and certification and then , sell at a reasonable price , the tools to effectuate diagnostic. Now with John Deere, there might not be room for any service center to operate other that John Deere’s own dealerships. You , after all , are asking JohnDeere dealerships , to relinquish a steady profit maker, in service fees. And farm equipment is a cyclical sale , and the stuff , other than parts counter inventory , does not fly out of the door every day , unlike franchise auto dealership stores. So Mr Rossman , you might need to draw a line here. We ain’t taking MacBooks . We are talking , never mind small tractors , state of art Combines. So you can’t just wage a wholy war on these guys. Because it will get you nowhere. This might be an opportunity for Mahindra to gain on John Deere. But it won’t be a battle won by you. Stick with Apple , Samsung , HP. Pick your fights. And I do not represent John Deere nor their dealerships
