McDonald's out-of-order ice cream machines have become a standing joke. What is interesting about this is the extent to which companies like McDonald's will go to fight R2R issues. 

R2R is a controversial topic we felt needed extensive coverage and a subject that the general ag media doesn’t appear to have the courage to report on due to worries about picking sides with the big equipment makers and their advertising budgets.

While I suspected some information may have been conveniently left out, that's not the behavior of the dealer audience I know. While I don’t have endless labor hours to throw around like the think-tanks and lobbyists, I was willing to make an inquiry of my own — in an experiment of 1.

My iPhone alerts last Friday caused a burst of frustration to start the holiday weekend. First was a right-to-repair (R2R) video that I got suckered into watching, then news reaffirming that legislative absurdity isn’t limited to just Sri Lanka.
