Deere just seems to be the most short-sighted company in the industry. I was in the market for a tiny tractor and even the fucking loader buckets are proprietary. Every other brand standardized on the skid steer/track loader interface so you can use all the attachments that are widely available but if you want to use them on a Deere you need to pay extra for a special adapter. There is literally nothing better about their system, it's just designed to make you buy their attachments.

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.
