if I had to replace my tractor today I honestly have no idea which I would pick, but I think all of them come with irreplaceable software components. Are there any tractors available that have fully reviewable / replaceable control software?

    I have a '90s Kubota with zero software and just wiring. Downside is, even here in Japan, parts for them are getting really hard to find.

      Yeah parts are another huge problem. It would be very cool to have a tractor built entirely out of commodity hardware, or hardware that can be fabricated locally e.g. an on-premises shop or a community maker space.
