I'd have less of a problem with this if it were a free and open source license, and therefore there's competition available for the service, including do it yourself service should you choose.

But most farms are now corporate so it sorta makes sense those types will drive this kind of closed loop proprietary fixed cost maintenance model.

That's a good point. If they're corporate and the tractor driver is paid by the hour then the pressure to fix isn't there. Though I suspect a corporate farm would contract out harvesting so they pay a fixed cost per unit-area, and now the contractor is under pressure to fix asap.
