I'd have to say Deere was at fault in the lawsuit (and I'm a retired Deere employee). The issue boils down to the tractor and loader being "ready to use" when it left the dealer, in spite of the owner's manual saying that the combination needed more weight in the rear.

Deere didn't dispute any of that, just tried to claim the opposite of what their own literature said, that the weight was not necessary; and that the operator wasn't wearing his seat belt.
