<blockquote>Thank you for taking the time to educate yourself on matters you do not fully understand. I appreciate what you are doing fighting for right to repair and wish you luck. However I would also like for you to have accurate information in order to make yourself more credible. The video I would like to start with is the one published on Jan 26 titled “John Deere dealerships are lobbying AGAINST right to repair. Farmers, please help me out.”<ref> | <blockquote>Thank you for taking the time to educate yourself on matters you do not fully understand.

One of the things you talk about is farmers do not want to race their tractors. This is not entirely true. There are competitions farmers compete in with their tractors called “tractor pulls.” If you would like to see this google NTPA. Or go to ntpapull.com. This is the home page of the National Tractor Association. This is the highest level of the competition in the sport equivalent to Major League Baseball. YouTube some videos of “NTPA tractor pull” and you will see this is Formula One level competition. And just like baseball has major leagues, minor leagues, AAA, college games, high school, all the way down to neighborhood kids playing at the park, tractor pulling has the same structure. When I was younger I would compete in these at the county level with the same tractors we farmed with. Similar to how people might street race with production cars. And we did modify them to produce more power to compete better. I was doing this at 15 years old. | One of the things you talk about is farmers do not want to race their tractors.
