The ACCC has taken up the Right to Repair cause here in Australia, as much as the ACCC is a toothless tiger, we live in hope that the government listen.
Tractor repair (John Deere et al) is at the top of the list but it extends to all forms of repair, and the tractor situation may just get the whole idea over the line.

I am with you. If the repairs are totally free, then the OEM has control. After that, the owner has as much right to repair as any service station.

Wish Professor Allan Fels was still running the ACCC. He was really good.
