Think this through. Even if the claim is upheld, how can they enforce it? Can they force parts suppliers to stop selling parts or repair shops to close?
When you buy a tractor you get a SALES receipt or a sales contract not an operator's permit. Either the item was sold or it wasn't. Is anyone going to hand them tens of thousands of dollars just to "operate" their equipment?
If they are going to claim they own the tractor and you are only the operator, as the owner, won't that make them responsible for paying the cost of all repairs? Isn't the "owner" liable in the case of accidents or damage to other property?
There are lots of generic parts made by other manufacturers, like hoses, belts, spark plugs. Can they force these other manufacturers to stop selling parts that fit their tractors or vehicles?
How many of the parts in the tractor or vehicle did JD or GM actually manufacture? If the tractor or vehicle is assembled using parts purchased from another manufacturer, how can JD or GM claim the tractor is theirs through copyright? That's a like a home builder claiming the house is his because he put it together.
Trying to retain ownership of a vehicle or tractor would be a legal nightmare. A gazillion law suits would be filed overnight.
