All those pics from the Dutch famer's protest with highways choked with lines of green and yellow farm tractors - How long do you think untill John Deer remotely disables them?

John Deer already did this in the Ukraine so we know they can. They remotely disabled and bricked all of the farm equipment captured by the Russians.

It won't happen. John Dear likes to make money selling tractors. It would be pretty retarded of them to throw that away. And nothing reported about Russia is ever true so there's really no reason to believe that they actually did that to Russia.

to have something like that it would require the tractor to have an always online modem and sim based network connection, unless their tractors are on some kind of subscription there is no way john dear is paying for and maintaining all those internet connections.

All John Deer tractors ship with an always on connection and DRM/encrypted software so that only JD technicians can work on them and only official JD parts will work. They 100% have the remote kill ability unless the tractors are at least 10y old

John Deere CEOs are malignant cancerous tyrants. Their names are definitely on the list.

Those tractors are 30+ years old. Probably don't have a single computer chip in em.

You don't think one built in 1992 has computer chips? Really?
