I really HATE the trend to link everything by GPS/computer/cell phone signal. I feel it is an invasion of my privacy for any OEM to communicate with my property without my permission. My car/truck/tractor are all my "property" not the OEMs after I BUY it.
Court case that JD and other companies are advancing stating that "THEY" own the property and we just have the usage rights is BS!!!!! If this prevails than shortly you will own very little of anything.
This is an extension of the seed patients on the GMO products. They have it to where your basically locked into buying your seed from them forever because you can't "keep" anything you grow because they say they own the GENES/DNA of the seed.
We do own GPS systems for our tractors and combines. They are NOT OEM systems. We can turn them off and the equipment still functions maybe without some automatic functions like "auto steer" but it can still be driven.
With OnStar and some other systems, you can have your car disabled externally regardless of the fact you maybe driving it LEGALLY with it paid for. Law enforcement would LOVE to have every car with a shut down remote that THEY could use when ever they wanted to. Banks would like it too to insure payment. Late on your payment your car will not move. Sound like fiction???? I have heard of some JD systems in Europe that can disable the equipment if your behind on payments.
I view all of these type of things as slow erosion of our freedoms and rights. We are slowly going back into surf/lord types of cultures to where a few control the many. The controls just will be economic instead of land/home. You will still be a surf under someone else's thumb. The Politicos would LOVE to have that type of control over the "SHEEP/voters" of this country.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
