Yeah I don't know how anyone could compel themselves to buy one. Do they really have that much of a monopoly on the industry? Is their tech that much further advanced? I genuinely don't know.

What is the best, more ethical alternative? Growing up my dad had New Holland and we liked them. Eventually I'll be going more rural and choosing a route to take and it sure as shit won't be John Deere.
