Current AG machine producers are still fighting this, are now adding Subscription requirements to access Electronics and to clear codes on newer machines much as Auto manufacturers are. RTR is fast becoming a joke on the Public.

The cynic in me says the guv is behind this, as it's about control and money.

They allow the company to control you and the guv gets free money ( taxes )

RTR has always been a joke, from the very begining. As someone who's worked in the industry for 20+ years, it was easy to see all along that what people thought they were getting, never remotely stood a chance of happening.

Another case of be carefull what you wish for.

They can say they are giving access, but it seems like the software is on some kind of timer that is set to expire. Because when they come out to repair things it seems updates are required. And if you want to mix brands it seems they don't like to talk to each other.

Simply changing sensors or anything requires a computer update. Not just plug and go.

RTR, the reason why worn out $500 tractors and equipment bring $2,000 at auctions. We're going to have to replace a tractor at some point and I'm dreading it. Now my "big" tractor is a 1999 Kubota M6800. Very simple. Problem is, my big tractor ain't quite big enough
