![]() The PTO dynamometer was installed to measure the engine load and fuel consumption at various engine load levels (40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90%), and verify the simulation model. The simulation model of PST tractor was developed using the configurations and powertrain of the real PST tractor. It remains to be seen whether "technology" will in the end offer us more (and better) choices are less.This study is focused on the estimation of fuel consumption of the power-shift transmission (PST) tractor based on PTO (power take-off) dynamometer test. Right to repair is one aspect of living in a monopolistic world. Our world is dividing itself, neatly and steadily, into four digital universes. And, finally, that we all use Amazon increasingly for our consumer purchases. I would further guess that another large portion rely on Facebook for their social connections. I would venture that some very large portion of readers Google as their knowledge base. For example, I would venture that 100% of the readers of this article are on a Microsoft operating system and use Microsoft productivity software. On a macro scale, I think we are heading more and more into this type of weirdly monopolistic world. Obviously, this represents a continuing revenue stream for the dealer and a continual drain on the purchaser. Now, for trivial matters it appears that the equipment legally needs to be returned to the dealer for service. ![]() As one of them said, in the old days you could take apart a tractor and put it back together in a week. The farmers were required to go back to the dealerships for repairs they are no longer able to make themselves. I think the other thing that is fascinating to me is how technology is used to manipulate behavior. The state of Nebraska's revenue is just a shade over $4 billion. John Deere's worldwide revenue in 2017 was $29 billion. For context, Apple's annual revenue in 2017 was $229 billion. ![]() There are many aspects of this story which are fascinating to me. But for a more thoughtful response, check out this interesting law and technology video: One answer is that if either fall on your big toe, it will hurt. ![]()
