Proof Required?
John Deere has agreed to a $99 million class action settlement over allegations that it restricted farmers' ability to repair their own equipment — forcing them to pay expensive dealer repair fees instead. This is a major win for the right-to-repair movement, which has long argued that equipment manufacturers like John Deere make it unnecessarily difficult and costly for owners to fix their own machines. If you're a farmer who paid a John Deere dealer to repair large agricultural equipment at any point since 2018, you may be eligible to receive money from this settlement. The claim deadline is October 15, 2026, so there's time to gather your information and file — but don't wait too long. This settlement covers a wide range of farmers across the United States who were affected by John Deere's repair restrictions. Read on to find out if you qualify and how much you might receive.
