The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is investigating Deere & Company regarding its repair policies that may violate customers' 'right to repair' their purchased equipment. The probe, authorized in 2021, looks into the manufacturer's restrictions on hardware and software repairs. Deere is reportedly cooperating with the FTC, which has also been active in similar cases against other companies. Additionally, Deere faces lawsuits from farmers claiming its repair policies breach antitrust laws, despite a recent agreement allowing greater access to repairs.
