"The repair-math section alone paid for the book. I walked in knowing the $80-vs-$1,000 numbers before the dealer even brought up service plans."
Mark T. — IowaSaved $1,100
The financials, the lawsuits, and the buyer's checklist every farmer needs before their next John Deere or Fendt purchase.
"The repair-math section alone paid for the book. I walked in knowing the $80-vs-$1,000 numbers before the dealer even brought up service plans."
"I'd only ever bought green. The Challenger section on Fendt's dealer coverage changed how I thought about resale risk completely."
"The five-question checklist in Part Five got my dealer to actually put a service-response time in writing. Nobody had ever asked before."
"I've run Deere equipment for 22 years and still learned something from the timeline in Part Two. The settlement terms are worth reading closely."
"The tariff breakdown in Part Four finally explained why my 2026 model quote jumped. Wish I'd read this before I got the price sheet."
How a $10.2B profit year became a $4B one — and why crop prices, not equipment quality, are the real driver.
The $99 million settlement, the active federal case, and the six-state right-to-repair shift.
Sixteen years of AGCO investment, an 80%-coverage dealer network, and why Fendt's Vario saves real diesel.
The Mexico production shift, the tariff threat that never landed, and the tariffs that hit Deere anyway.
A five-question framework to bring to any dealer, any brand, before you sign.
A timeline, a numbers-at-a-glance table, six myths debunked, and a glossary that actually matters.
