I wonder about the mechanics of how this would be enforced, and on what basis. What if John Deere just doesn't do that? Will they not be able to sell tractors in CO? Or what if they just decide not to anymore on their own? And then what if I buy a tractor from them out of state and bring it into CO. Does John Deere have to provide repair parts/manuals to me? What if they have slightly different models for CO and everywhere else?
Does this also put upward pressure on tractor prices as any other manufacturer would also have to comply with this? (Meaning competition won't prevent passing the cost along to the farmer)
I think since they already sold tractors in CO they should be compelled to release manuals/parts and if they don't just be fined with escalating fines till they do or go out of business.
